for Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Spanish


Spanish GCSE 3-year Scheme of Work: Year 1*

DRAFT VERSION September 2015

The following document is a scheme of work based on the draft Edexcel specification submitted to Ofqual in April 2015 and
is subject to change. It is being made available in draft form to support planning in centres that deliver a three-year KS4. A
final version will be made available following accreditation.

Please refer to our website for free support and teaching materials.

Important:
This draft qualification has not yet been accredited by Ofqual. The draft specification is published to enable teachers to have early
sight of our proposed approach for GCSE Spanish. Further changes may be required and no assurance can be given at this time
that the proposed qualification will be made available in its current form, or that it will be accredited in time for first teaching
in 2016 and first award in 2018.
