English

The English department strives to foster within pupils a love of language and literature. We aim to develop pupils’ ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of contexts; to enable students to use accurate Standard English and develop an interest in the richness of the English language in its various forms. We encourage pupils to develop an interest in extending the range of their own language in terms of style, vocabulary, structure and form and provide them with the tools to become engaging and imaginative writers. We endeavour to give pupils experience of our literary heritage and motivate them to tackle more challenging texts. We want our pupils to be both self-critical and aware of their own achievements; this will enable them to develop strategies to improve in their work.
