Spanish

At Crackley Bank, we aim to develop an interest in other languages, fostering children’s curiosity and deepening their understanding of the world. Spanish is taught at Crackley Bank as it is the most widely spoken language across the world after English and it is likely to be the language that our children encounter if they go on holidays to Spanish speaking countries. It will also help to support our children in their learning and progression into KS3 as this is also the chosen language of our main feeder school within our Trust.  

Our MFL curriculum is designed to progressively develop children’s skills in languages through regular taught lessons and thorough recap sessions. Children will progressively acquire, use and apply a growing bank of vocabulary, grammar and phonics knowledge through speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. We use songs and rhymes to develop children’s vocabulary recall, ensuring that they know more and remember more, making language learning fun and useful in the children’s lives.  

From September 2024, all KS2 year groups will start their Spanish learning journey with Unit 1, with the exception of Year 5, who will start with Unit 2 as they completed Unit 1 in the summer term (2024).
