Spanish

Assessment

Pupils relish the challenge of studying a foreign language and a good number continue to do so beyond IGCSE, with a great deal of success. We offer courses in French, German, Italian and Spanish. The teaching of literature and the focus on the culture of the country whose language we are studying adds a further dynamic to our provision of foreign language teaching. Weekly work on a personal portfolio gives students the opportunity to carry out deeper study of an area of particular interest, to read articles and news content of interest to them, and to prepare a topic for analysis in the oral component. Japanese and Portuguese are offered as non-examined General Studies courses in the Lower Eighth (Year 12).
