Our vision of Spanish at All Saints Academy
The MFL department at All Saints Academy is to raise awareness of and develop a love of language and culture. Students will study the Spanish language and learn about the culture in Spain as well as other Spanish speaking countries in South America. Students will learn how to become confident communicators in Spanish using all four skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing and develop a deep appreciation of the vibrancy of Spanish culture.
How we will achieve this
Learning Journey
How we will assess Spanish
Key Stage 3 assessments will build upon prior learning and will include vocabulary from all topics that have been taught. For example, the spring 2 assessment in year 7 will include vocabulary from the autumn term, presenting myself and family and friends.
Key Stage 4 assessments will be full GCSE papers at either foundation or higher tier depending on the ability of the student.

MFL Prefect
I’m Thomas and I’m the languages prefect of our school, Languages, especially Spanish, have always been a passion of mine, from the beginning of year seven I have thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish lessons here and have been striving to learn more than just 1 new language.
Other than Spanish I enjoy things like History and RE, and I am also very interested in Law as I take part in young Magistrates competitions.
I truly believe that languages are the key to expanding our world view allowing us to become part of communities not just in our home countries but in cities and towns across the world.
My vision for my time as languages prefect is to try and share my love of languages with students across the school and to show students what you could do if you learnt even a small amount of a new language and the places it could take you.
As languages prefect I will be attempting to run a variety of weekly P6 activities to help and entertain students whilst also teaching them Spanish.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope that you will enjoy learning a language here at All Saints.
