English 

We love English! Our pupils are enthused and inspired by off-site trips which have included the zoo and the theatre, museums and theme parks!

Reading is for everyone: our fully-stocked library spans a range of age-suitable and topic-specific texts, made even more accessible by our wealth of audio and visual resources to engage each pupil according to their individual needs.

Virtual reality headsets play an integral part in understanding the context and setting of stories and GCSE texts, with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs being offered and passed by our pupils.

The English Department aims to:

• Instil a love of reading across a range of genres
• Inspire and develop writing for all purposes
• Initiate confidence and clarity in communication
• Interact with the curriculum through a multimedia approach
• Involve pupils in their next steps in learning
