English is Everything

In English we provide a curriculum that develops a love of reading and writing. Within the English classrooms the students journey to other places, times and worlds. Outside of the classroom the students enjoy experiences such as plays, poetry, debates and clubs. Through literature and language, our aim is to give the students a wealth of opportunities to build their knowledge and to be ready to take any path they wish to pursue once leaving school and throughout their lives. The texts chosen for reading are diverse, inclusive and develop critical thinking skills. Whilst reading the perspectives of writers of all identities and backgrounds they build a sense of their own identity and sense of citizenship.  Our students develop and use their voice.

The curriculum is academically aspirational for all with a ‘top down’ approach.  Students are given aspirational target grades which we work with to ensure all aim high. Each year has been planned backwards from the end goal of the examinations in Year 11.
