Write a diary of all the things you do during your summer break in Spanish. Use this task to explore new vocabulary and use different verb tenses.

Revise verb tenses regularly. Use websites such as Conjuguemos or spanish.language&culture.

Watch as many movies as you can in Spanish with subtitles in either English or Spanish. Make sure you understand what they say and make notes of new vocabulary making your own lists on Quizlet.

If you love music, listen to music in Spanish on lyricstraining and complete the lyrics as you listen to your favourite music.

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.

Edward Smith, BTEC student

The teaching and support was really great, the quality was really great, all the teachers really care about your education as well as your wellbeing, they take everything into consideration and they’re great.

Katie Whittingham, A Level student

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.
