English

All students study English in year 7 and 8 and all students take GCSE English and English Literature, in years 9 to 11. In teaching English, we aim to promote the love of reading, help students develop confident speaking skills and the ability to express themselves clearly in writing. Throughout the study of English, students are encouraged to explore their own ideas and responses to topical issues as well as to books and to poems.
