What is the Bilingual Plan?
At Fuenllana, we are opening the doors to international education with a future-focused, whole-school Bilingual and Internationalisation Plan, designed with the Institute of Bilingual Education (IBE). All students will follow a shared pathway that progressively leads to Cambridge C1, integrating new academic programmes, active methodologies, and coherent assessment systems to create a strong, motivating environment for learning English.
Implementation will be progressive: the plan will be fully applied to students entering 1st ESO, while in higher year groups it will be introduced gradually, supporting students from their current level towards the new standards.
This plan is a shared commitment between the school, families, and students to ensure inclusive, high-quality learning that opens access to leading universities and prepares our students to act with confidence in a global academic and professional world.
In other words, A New Bilingual Chapter. From 1st ESO, every student follows a clear path towards Cambridge C1. Active learning, tailored materials, and fair assessment—so each learner moves forward with confidence. School + families + students: one team, one goal.
Initial diagnosis and consolidation of the English Department.

Materials and What’s New
Traditional textbooks will be replaced by materials specifically designed for each level and adapted to the school’s needs, including graded readers, practice workbooks, digital exercises, and Cambridge-aligned rubrics.
Each year group will follow a termly syllabus structured around grammar, vocabulary, writing, and literature. In addition, we will launch an internal digital platform for academic tracking and ongoing teacher training.
