Camms CE Primary School Statement: MfL Spanish

MfL Subject Vision

At Camm’s CE Primary School, we want our children to develop a love of languages and the confidence to communicate with others beyond their own community. We aspire for every child to leave our school equipped with the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to visit a Spanish-speaking country and confidently try out simple phrases in real-life situations.

Through our Spanish curriculum, pupils develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills while gaining an understanding of the cultures and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. Learning a language broadens horizons, fosters curiosity about the wider world and helps children appreciate different ways of life.

In November 2022, we adopted Language Angels as our core curriculum resource. Using this comprehensive and progressive scheme, we redesigned our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum to ensure clear progression of knowledge and skills across Key Stage 2. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to build upon prior learning, enabling children to retain and apply their knowledge with increasing confidence.

By the time children leave Camm’s, pupils will have developed the confidence to communicate using familiar vocabulary and phrases, the resilience to attempt new language independently and a greater appreciation of the diverse world in which they live.

Aprender – Hablar – Gozar - Learn – Speak – Enjoy 

Aprender (Intent)

Pupils will learn key Spanish vocabulary, grammar and language structures progressively across the school.

Hablar (Implementation)

We provide regular, sequenced Spanish lessons that build knowledge and skills over time.

Gozar (Impact)

The impact of our Spanish curriculum is that pupils will enjoy learning a modern foreign language and participate with enthusiasm, speaking Spanish with increasing confidence, accuracy and fluency.
