## **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. 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). We also have organised another parties as Carnaval – Carnival party. 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, we are trying to keep the number of students in 50 although some times is difficult and we are between 35-40 at the end of the year. We have had the help of parents on a voluntary basis who have assisted in the classes, have supported social networks to be better known, as well as have also been involved in the organization of the events held during the course. We have created several working groups of volunteer parents so that the organization of the activities was clear, correct and adequate.
