Intent: To provide a clearly planned, high quality Spanish curriculum that develops children into global citizens with an appreciation of different cultures. Children will develop increased cultural capital through learning more about the cultural and linguistic elements of Spanish. The curriculum will lay the foundation for further language learning and enable children to have a positive view of themselves as language learners.

Implementation
Our lessons are carefully and logically planned and taught in sequence to ensure that prior learning is considered and that there are opportunities for aspects of language and grammar to be revised. Due to this structure, the children are able to build on prior knowledge alongside the introduction of new skills, ensuring clear progression from lesson to lesson, unit to unit, and year to year. The learning experiences for MFL are planned to be inclusive, accessible, and meet the needs of all children, including children with SEND and disadvantaged pupils. The planning of lessons will include the use of a variety of different resources to enrich learning experiences, such as those to be used alongside each topic within our scheme of work, for example key vocabulary display materials, opportunities to listen to native speakers, learn Spanish songs, and read and enjoy Spanish literature. Our children are able to learn Spanish through a variety of engaging and enriching learning opportunities such as after school clubs. We have also partnered up with a primary school in Malaga and our children have been exchanging class presentations and letters.
Impact
Spanish will be monitored and assessed in line with other Foundation Subjects in our school, therefore the impact can be measured to ensure enjoyment and progression of Spanish is clear and continuous across Key Stage 2 classes. Through using the progressive, sequenced lesson structure, alongside a wealth of resources and learning opportunities, we all strive to ensure that the teaching and learning of Spanish is enjoyed by all children and will hopefully encourage them to embark on further language studies as they continue on their learning journey from primary school through to secondary school.
