To introduce children to simple vocabulary and structure that can be applied on a daily basis during their school routines through various contexts, according to their age and ability.

Gradually acquiring confidence and independence towards achieving their cultural awareness whilst fostering curiosity about the wider world.

Encouraging our children to effectively develop Linguistic skills enabling them to accurately communicate and gain further knowledge in Spanish by speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as distinguish different native accents/intonations from their starting point in Year 4 up to Year 6 and to continuously advance their skills in secondary school.

Through Spanish our children  will ‘Experience different things'- one of our school visions which is to promote  inquisitiveness and interest. We deliver international opportunities through the use of our Spanish Pen-pal letter exchange of cross cultural programme between a Primary Spanish School  Escola Gravi Barcelona and Sawley Junior School. This enables them to benefit , enrich and broaden their minds to become assertive learners.
