Spanish Vision 

“In Spanish, we grow our confidence to listen, speak, read, and write in another language.”

Spanish Curriculum Intent

Our chosen language to learn is Spanish, the planning and progression is underpinned by the Language Angels scheme of work. The aim of teaching Spanish is to encourage the children's curiosity and excitement in their wider global community as well as inspiring a lifelong love of languages. We want to broaden our children's understanding of the world and ensure they have a strong cultural awareness that will help them as they grow. We believe that learning a language is more than simply acquiring words; it is a pathway to connection, understanding, and growth. Children will discover the rich diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. They will gain insight into a range of traditions, music, art, food, and literature. This exploration inspires creativity and broadens horizons, allowing students to make meaningful connections between their own experiences and those of others around the globe. Through teaching materials, songs, stories, and real-life communication, pupils uncover the joy of expressing themselves in a new language and the excitement this brings. By developing their understanding and ability to speak another language, children will learn to respect the importance of valuing other people and their cultures. Learning Spanish teaches empathy by showing children that communication is a bridge to understanding and appreciating difference. We nurture the children’s curiosity and enjoyment of learning a new language, we guide our children to develop the confidence to communicate in Spanish at their own pace. We provide encouragement and build resilience, so that each child feels safe to try, to make mistakes and to grow. Learning Spanish at BSP is a journey that shapes both the mind and the heart. It is not only about mastering vocabulary and grammar, but about nurturing curiosity, discovering new ways of thinking, and respecting the cultures and people that give life to the language.
