Prep Spanish

Pupils in the 11s and 12s can choose to study Spanish as one of their two languages.

These beginners’ lessons take place twice a week over two years and are an introductory course to the language. Pupils are taught the basics of the language (common vocabulary, phonics, key grammar rules and tenses) in order to be able to communicate independently. They also develop some knowledge about the countries where the language is spoken, as they are exposed to authentic material and taught by teachers or assistants who are native speakers.

Whenever possible, pupils also have the opportunity to watch films and plays in the target language.

For more specific year-by-year information, please refer to our Harrodian Curriculum Handbooks.
