Intent
At Newbold Church School we believe that learning a foreign language is a necessary part of being a member of a multi-cultural society and provides a valuable opening to other cultures. Our languages curriculum encourages all pupils to communicate for practical purposes and express their ideas in another language, providing them with the foundation for learning further languages. At Newbold Church School we strive to stimulate and encourage children's curiosity about languages, and foster their love for the subject with the hope that this ignites an interest in future learning and use of languages.
Implementation
At Newbold Church School we teach Spanish as our chosen Modern Foreign language to children from Y3 - Y6. Each class is timetabled to receive an hour of Spanish lessons each afternoon for the full academic year. Please see our languages policy here.
Our Spanish Teaching follows the requirements of the National Curriculum.
Impact
We use a range of strategies to assess what skills and knowledge the children have attained each term including the following:
- End of unit assessments in Key Stage 2
- Book looks
- Revision of core questions at the start of the lesson
- Pupil Voice
- Regular feedback each lesson
