At Handcross Park School, all children study Spanish from Nursery to Year 8,  to reach Common Entrance or Scholarship level. In Year 6 there is a choice between French and Latin as a second language.

Find out more about our French and Spanish classes.

We offer a wide range of enrichment activities to stimulate and give every opportunity for children to develop into confident communicators.  Click here to read about this year's brilliant trip to France.

Labels around our school
At the start of term children discovered colourful signs scattered around the school indicating in both Spanish (yellow labels) and French (blue labels) the name of the classrooms and essential school places  The children are enjoying perfecting their pronunciation and showing their new found knowledge to the teachers and parents.
