Modern Foreign Languages

At our school, the teaching and learning of Spanish aims to open doors to new cultures, languages, and ways of connecting with the wider world. We believe that every pupil, regardless of visual or sensory impairment, has the right to access high-quality language learning that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and communication. Through the iClaro curriculum, we provide a structured, engaging, and inclusive approach to Spanish that is carefully adapted to meet the diverse needs of our learners. Lessons are multisensory, making use of sound, touch, rhythm, and movement to ensure all pupils can actively participate and achieve success. Resources are tailored, with tactile, auditory, and accessible digital materials, so that barriers to learning are reduced and independence is promoted.

​

Our vision is for pupils to develop a sense of achievement and enjoyment in learning another language while exploring and celebrating Spanish-speaking cultures in ways that are meaningful and accessible to them. In doing so, pupils are encouraged to build listening, speaking, and comprehension skills through differentiated and inclusive activities that foster engagement at their own level of ability. The teaching of Spanish is designed to support pupils in gaining confidence in using language as a tool for communication, self-expression, and connection with others, while also helping them to transfer valuable skills such as memory, sequencing, resilience, and problem-solving into wider areas of learning.

Ultimately, Spanish at our school is about more than words; it is about fostering inclusion, cultural awareness, and the joy of learning in a way that recognises and values each pupil’s unique abilities.
