Modern Foreign Language - Spanish

Intent

At Wivelsfield Primary School, we aim to inspire a love of languages and curiosity about the wider world. Through learning another language, pupils develop confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing. We promote understanding of different cultures so children gain a broader perspective beyond their own experiences. Our curriculum empowers pupils to be open-minded, respectful and ready to engage in cultural exchange. We also lay strong foundations for future language learning.

Implementation

Our curriculum follows the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum and is carefully sequenced to ensure progression in skills and knowledge. We use the La Jolie Ronde scheme to provide structured, engaging lessons that develop speaking, listening, reading and writing. Pupils practise pronunciation using native speaker recordings and interactive resources. Cultural learning is embedded throughout, allowing children to explore traditions, celebrations and daily life in other countries. Regular retrieval and practice help build confidence and fluency.

Impact

By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils can understand and respond to simple spoken and written language with growing confidence and accuracy. They demonstrate curiosity and respect for other cultures and are prepared for further study at secondary school. Assessment is ongoing and mainly formative, including observation, discussion and written work. Pupils take ownership of their progress through self-marking and reflection, helping them identify strengths and next steps. As a result, children leave primary school as confident, reflective and globally aware learners
