We began foreign language learning at Kingsway in September 2003, and now teach Spanish from Foundation Stage to Year 6, with a little bit of French in Year 2. At the end of last term, we hosted our first Languages Fair. We were joined by children from all the primary schools in our family with staff, and staff from Kirkby College. We had a great day and learnt Arabic, French and Spanish.

We have links with three schools in Spain and one in Mexico. These links help us to find out more about countries that speak Spanish. We also get to practise our language skills and make friends with people around the world. Each year we enjoy visits from students from Salamanca University during Spring Term, and hold 'Spanish Days' while they are here.

Our ‘International Schools Award,’ which lasts for three years, is about to run out, and we are in the process of applying to renew it.

This year, to celebrate the European Day of Languages, we all went to the airport and flew off to different countries. We all had a great time and learnt a lot of interesting things.

We have been part of the Háblame Project, which links us with Mexico, for the last 3 years, and have just won funding to continue for another year. This means that the Mexican teachers will be back to visit us, and Mr. Ford and Mrs. Turner will be jetting off to Mexico to visit our partner school.

Another international development is our Y3/4 link with India. Miss Limb will be visiting India sometime in the future, to learn all about our partner school there, and the teachers from India will be back to visit us. Very exciting!
