Spanish
Executive Curriculum Summary Spanish
As members of the Primary Languages Network, we implement a curriculum that is progressive throughout Key Stage Two. Within the scheme of work, planning and resources are designed to maximise the skills and experience of the teacher delivering the language lessons. Spanish is taught in weekly, discrete lessons covering one unit per half term. In MFL, skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in another language are developed through a multi-sensory approach, such as rhymes, songs, stories and repetition.
As part of our transition offer to Year 6 children as they are getting ready to move on to high school, we expose children to other languages and cultures and engage in a variety of immersive experiences to further develop enjoyment and appreciation of languages.
This year's Year 6 (2025) enjoyed a 'visit to France!

We also work closely with our local high school to ensure continuity and progression in language learning. The secondary school has adopted elements of our primary Spanish curriculum, and their teachers regularly observe Spanish lessons at Gorsefield as part of their professional development, sharing best practice and strengthening transition for our pupils.

Curriculum Impact Statements
Our curriculum impact statements celebrate the success of our children, showcasing how our rich and inspiring curriculum empowers them to thrive, achieve their full potential, and develop learners who excel at Gorsefield. They reflect the meaningful progress our children make and our commitment to continuous growth and excellence. We use the Curriculum Impact Statements to feed into the school development plan and ensure that our teaching continually evolves to meet the needs of all learners, driving high standards, equity, and a passion for learning, within Spanish, across key stage two.
