Intent

At Woodside Academy, we aim to provide a broad, engaging and ambitious Spanish curriculum that inspires pupils and develops a love of languages from an early age. In EYFS and Key Stage 1, pupils are introduced to early language learning through the Language Angels scheme, building confidence through songs, stories and simple vocabulary. In Key Stage 2, we build on this foundation using the Grammarsaurus approach, which supports a more structured and progressive development of language knowledge and skills.

Our curriculum is carefully planned and regularly reviewed to ensure clear progression across the school and full alignment with national expectations. Pupils develop the four key skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, alongside age-appropriate grammar, so they can understand how the language works and apply it in a range of contexts.

We focus on building strong foundations in vocabulary, pronunciation and sentence structure, while encouraging curiosity about the wider world. Through learning Spanish, pupils develop cultural awareness and an understanding of global perspectives. We also promote independence by encouraging pupils to explore language, recognise patterns and build their own bank of knowledge over time.

Above all, we want our pupils to leave Woodside Academy as confident, curious and enthusiastic language learners, ready for the next stage of their education.
