Vision Statement:
We believe that the work we do in the English Department is about enhancing the art of communication. The English department stimulates creativity, challenging students to develop more sophisticated ways of communicating and expressing themselves. It is through the study of; fiction, poetry, plays and non-fiction from across a wide range of sources, that students develop reading, writing and communication skills.
All lessons are delivered by subject specialists. The teachers’ love of their subject is infectious and creates students who, regardless of ability, enjoy the variety in lessons and continue to improve. English is one of the most popular subjects according to the students themselves, and this positive attitude translates into excellent results as one of the highest performing departments.
