Year 13 Spanish students headed into central London for a performance of La casa de Bernarda Alba at the Cervantes Theatre in Southwark. Having studied the play all year, witnessing it come to life was an enriching experience. The superb acting brought depth to the characters, providing invaluable insights for our upcoming exams.

After the theatre, they ventured to Wahaca, where students embraced the opportunity to order their

meals in Spanish, adding a practical dimension to their language skills.

Reflecting on the trip, Elena S shared, “It was great to see the play come to life. I was able to understand the play much more after seeing it in real life.” Zahra S added, “With so many sisters in the story (5), it was hard to keep everyone’s roles straight. The dramatisation of the actors helped me understand each character’s role better.”

Our A Level Spanish students also attended a Spanish Study day organised by Hodder Education at the YMCA Indian Student Hostel in Fitzrovia. This full-day event was designed to enhance their literary and cinematographic writing skills, offering invaluable advice from experienced examiners. Throughout the conference, students engaged in interactive sessions aimed at refining their essay-writing techniques, receiving personalised feedback, and gaining insights into effective exam strategies. The conference provided a comprehensive overview of key academic concepts and equipped students with practical tools to enhance their performance in Spanish A Level examinations. With newfound confidence and clarity, students left the conference empowered to excel in their academic pursuits.
