!Viva Teatro! Year 10 pupils and Mrs Whitfield celebrate the news that the Modern Languages and Drama departments have been awarded a grant by the European Union! This two year project aims to develop Spanish language and cultural understanding by working in partnership with IES Villablanca, Madrid .

All pupils taking these GCSE subjects will follow specially designed modules to enhance a wider appreciation of the different cultures. Exciting extra curricular activities will be offered to all interested senior pupils and the twelve who form the exchange group will regularly use video conferencing to communicate with their partners in Madrid . They will also prepare a joint production to perform during their 10 day stay in each other’s country. (If they don’t speak Spanish now, there will be weekly lessons to get them talking!)

There will be a meeting for Year 10 pupils and parents who are interested in hearing more about the project on Wednesday 22nd October at 6.30pm in the Creative Arts Studio.
