New Initiatives
Modern Foreign Languages - Spanish
With the implementation of the Governments Primary Language Strategy, all children in Key Stage 2 are required to receive an hour of language teaching (Spanish or French) by 2009.
From September 2008 all children at Our Lady of Grace will be receiving Spanish tuition from Miss Laura Vallejo Godoy.
Here are some phrases you can try at home.
