Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The school is promoting the use of Spanish within the pupils and for some this is the first formal step to become more proficient in the language.
More Spanish speaking people is getting to know of our existence, and the number of people enquiring about the services is increasing. Links have been created with other Spanish schools in the country, working together with some of them. We organised events that were very popular amongst the Spanish speaking families such as the visit of Reyes Magos (3 wise men). The reserves we build during the time we were opened, allowed us to reopen in 2022.
We managed to attract teachers for the different groups, and this has helped us to grow as a school. The experience the teachers gained in the school allowed them to move their careers forward. The school has helped other Spanish networks such as the Council of Residents thanks to the promotion of other organisations in our events. We have managed to organise weekly Spanish language classes for the whole school calendar, growing from 18 students when we started to over 30 at the end of the year.
