Spanish A Level
at Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School, Ramsgate · school or sixth form
What the college says
Spanish is spoken widely throughout the world, not just in Europe but in the Americas too, and sits in third place after English and Mandarin Chinese as the world’s most spoken language. It is also an official language of many international organisations. If you have an A level in Spanish you will have a highly sought after qualification that will make you one of the forerunners in the job market. You will also develop a number of skills that will benefit your other subjects, making it an excellent partner for many different combinations of A-levels. Our aim is to increase fluency in the language whilst giving you an understanding of the culture in which the language operates. We look at varied topic areas such as the Spanish Civil War to Hispanic films and literature always basing them in the Spanish speaking world. Having developed an understanding of the basics at GCSE, you will now acquire a more refined understanding of Spanish grammar and a broader vocabulary. By the end of Year 13 you will be in a position to communicate quite fluently and more importantly be able to continue your language skills independently, or at university. Spanish at A-level is challenging, requiring dedication and hard-work. It is also extremely rewarding and opens many doors in the future.
