To enable students to develop and deepen their awareness and understanding of the Spanish language, while broadening their cultural awareness of the countries where Spanish is spoken. There is a focus on speaking the language confidently and coherently and this is done largely through studying the language in its cultural, literary and social context. Tasks undertaken will aim at developing all four skill areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students will be required to study literature and film and an appreciation of these will be included in the assessment. In addition to their timetabled lessons, students will attend a weekly conversation class with a native Spanish speaker.
Offers of places at 16+ are conditional on applicants achieving our required grades at GCSE, IB MYP or the equivalent foreign examinations. We ask for three 7 grades (or grade A) and above and another three 6 grades (or grade B) and above at GCSE or for IB MYP we require three 6 grades and three 5 grades. These should include English and mathematics and, where applicable, the subjects chosen for IB Higher Level or A-Level. We allocate places on academic merit, considered alongside the potential to contribute to our co-curricular programme. We recommend at least a Grade 6 at I/GCSE in any subject taken at IB Higher Level or A-level; students will not normally be allowed to pursue a subject in which they have attained less than a Grade 5.
Paper 1: Listening, reading and writing 50% (listening and reading comprehension tasks, plus translation) Paper 2: Writing 20% (2 essays on literature and film) Paper 3: Speaking 30% (discussion on an unseen stimulus, followed by presentation and discussion of independent research project)
