Spanish Lessons at George Grenville Academy

INTENT

At Grenville, Spanish is taught throughout the school from Early Years to Year 6. We employ a specialist teacher for this subject as we believe the value this adds to quality of education is extremely important. 

We want our children to leave Grenville having a secure foundation in a modern foreign language before they embark on their secondary education. Both local feeder schools (The Buckingham School and The Royal Latin) teach Spanish as a language option. It is our intention that pupils from Grenville are well equipped for these classes and are already able to grasp the basics during this transition in their education. 

​We also choose Spanish as it is a global language and thought to be the 4th most common language spoken worldwide after English, Mandarin Chinese and Hindi. 

It is our intention to ignite a love of learning a language in our pupils and provide a firm foundation to extend their learning at secondary level.
