This subject is part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme.
GCSE linguists have the opportunity to continue their studies of Spanish at SL and for those considering languages at university, HL study is available. For the non-GCSE language students or for those seeking to learn a new language, the Ab Initio (from beginning) SL course is an excellent introduction to a new language covering the basics through topics such as family and friends, work and leisure, and town and country living. Residential visits are available at all levels to help develop speaking skills and to provide valuable cultural insights, with recent visits including Paris, Berlin and Madrid.
Assessment Methods
You will be assessed both internally and externally in reading, writing and speaking.
