Intent
At Godolphin School, we believe that a high-quality languages education ignites curiosity, builds cultural awareness, and helps pupils develop as kind, connected global citizens. Through engaging and purposeful Spanish lessons, we aim to nurture a love of language learning while equipping pupils with the linguistic skills to interpret, create and communicate effectively across cultures.
Our curriculum is designed to progressively develop key knowledge, skills, and vocabulary from Year 2 to Year 6, with weekly Spanish lessons that provide a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing opportunities. Pupils are encouraged to explore the richness of the Spanish-speaking world through songs, rhymes, stories, and authentic materials, helping them make meaningful connections beyond their immediate environment.
We foster curiosity by encouraging children to ask questions and explore new ways of thinking through language. We nurture kindness by promoting respect and empathy for other cultures and perspectives, and we build connection by embedding language learning in real-life contexts, cross-curricular opportunities, and interactions with Spanish speakers within the school and wider community.
Through our language provision, we aim to inspire confident, curious learners who appreciate diversity and are equipped to thrive in an interconnected world.
