At West Rise, we grow language enthusiasts who:
• understand what it is to be a global citizen.
• recognise the importance of tolerance and understanding which is crucial knowledge in today’s world.
• aspire to learn about other cultures, but, more importantly, how to communicate effectively with others too.
As children leave us in Year 6, they go off to various different secondary schools that teach a variety of different foreign languages. However, in our local catchment area, Spanish is currently the only foreign language to be taught across all secondary schools. We believe that by introducing our pupils to Spanish at junior school, we are giving them a good understanding of the key concepts of learning a modern foreign language to build upon, regardless of which language they go on to study.
