Spanish

In Key Stage 5, our students have the option to continue with languages, equipping them to study and work in other countries later in life. This course allows students to develop confident, effective communication skills in the language of their choice and a thorough understanding of the culture of countries and communities where the language is spoken through the study of film and literature.

The Spanish A Level course aims to foster a love and appreciation not only for the Spanish language but also for film, music and books written in Spanish. We study Spanish as an influential European language and through cultural studies, students’ knowledge of the Spanish language is broadened. We explore a range of viewpoints on issues that are current in today’s world such as sport as a business, human rights and the role of the media. We also study Latin American culture and traditions.

We are aiming to set up a link for our A Level students with students in Argentina to give that ‘real-life’ practice that develops confidence. It is an exciting and interesting A Level which complements study in either the Sciences or the Arts as it provides students with the opportunities to study abroad later on.

Future Opportunities

Students will become confident communicators who can express themselves and their points of view clearly with guidance from their teachers. Language skills are highly sought after by both universities and employers.
