Sir John Lawes School
Spanish
Board: AQA
INTRODUCTION
The importance of Modern Languages in our society cannot be overstated, especially in view of the
increasingly globalised economy and workplace. There is a wide variety of career opportunities available to
students of a foreign language, either in the category of those directly using languages or, increasingly,
where a foreign language is an additional required skill – for example in accountancy, law, insurance,
marketing, banking, tourism and PA work.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
We would expect students to achieve a grade 6 or above in GCSE Spanish.
