Walter Halls Primary School is a large and diverse primary school situated in an area of high social and economic deprivation in Nottingham. One of our school aims is to develop our European dimension to the curriculum and to make bilingualism a cornerstone of our school ethos. Currently, Spanish is the modern foreign language taught by an external Spanish teacher. All staff were audited by the SLT on their confidence with speaking, reading, writing and teaching Spanish. The results showed that all KS2 staff feel incapable of teaching Spanish and are worried about teaching it in September 2014 when it becomes compulsory. They were mostly concerned about their lack of understanding of language and also their lack of knowledge of innovative methodology. We aim to equip all KS2 teachers with enough knowledge and skills in Spanish language teaching to enable them to teach a rich and varied Spanish curriculum. This will eliminate the need to use an external Spanish teacher and will ensure that a high standard of modern foreign language teaching is achieved throughout the key stage. We also aim to ensure that all of our children leave our school with a wider and deeper understanding of Spanish. To do this, we will embed Spanish in every day school life for all children. This includes displaying and using vocabulary for common and classroom items; greeting each other and engaging in conversations and counting in Spanish. Another aim is to improve the day-to-day running and management of our school with a view to becoming more of a 'learning community' as is the norm with our European partners. 10 members of staff will be engaged in the mobilities across a period of two years. This is mix of classroom teachers from Foundation Stage, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two and members of the Senior Leadership Team. They will be able to attend language and methodology training in Spain which will enable them to be immersed in the language. Currently, they feel underconfident and incompetent when it comes to teaching Spanish and also have little knowledge of culture in Spain. All teachers are very enthusiastic about taking part in the mobilities. They have seen the positive impact it has already had on two of our staff. They are keen to develop their language for their personal and professional development and are keen to take ownership of the Spanish curriculum. The mobilities will consist of half term trips to Spain to engage in immersion courses in Spanish language. The institute will also conduct lessons in the methodology and pedagogy of teaching a modern foreign language. Teachers will have the opportunity to consolidate their understanding of both language and teaching methods during the language course. The members of SLT will also be able to learn about the day-to-day running of the school and management techniques during time spent in school as part of the language course. We expect the project to have a measurable positive impact on the development of all of our children's ability to read, write and speak Spanish. In the short term, we expect children to become more interested and engaged with Spanish (as a direct result of a renewed interest in the subject in teaching staff) and to be more confident to 'have a go'. Longer term, we expect the current year two children to leave our school at the end with a much deeper and wider understanding of Spanish language and culture than previous years. We also hope to make transition into secondary language education much smoother which will make the children much more successful in their language education and potential careers. All KS2 staff should become much more confident and able to plan and teach their own Spanish lessons rather than having to rely on an external teachers. All school staff should have an increased knowledge and understanding of using Spanish in every day running of the classroom. European culture should become a major influence on the day-to-day running and management of our school.
