Summary

Language teaching in the school is still in the early stages of implementation. It was introduced in 2004 as part of the UK government's Primary Foreign Languages programme. The teaching of Spanish in the school is reinforced by an on-going e-twinning project with a school in Spain (Ablitas). Each year the project takes a new focus. In the school year 2007-8 the theme was  ‘Journalist’ or in Spanish ’Perioditas”  Each month the children rewrote news, both local and international, in their own words for pupils in their partner school, with headlines and captions in the target language and the main story in their own language.
