Scheme of work (3 years) The scheme is intended for students for whom the key stage 3 (KS3) course comprises three years. The starting point is from a limited knowledge and experience of primary Spanish. For those with no prior knowledge, revision of basic vocabulary and structures can be built into early units of work. For those with much more primary Spanish experience, extension activities could be used. The scheme is based upon a suggested time allocation of three hours per week.
