Spanish Speaking Practice – S.Q.A. National Qualifications
We have invited some students into school to give them an opportunity to practise their Spanish speaking with one of the Spanish teachers. Teachers will also post reminders on their MS Teams pages. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills before the assessment. Please make the most of this chance by coming with your materials and in full school uniform. We can’t wait to see you !
