At our school, we aim to create a genuine love for the English language and literature through a varied and engaging curriculum.
We offer a range of lessons that cover the essential parts of the English language, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Our curriculum includes a broad exploration of both fiction and non-fiction texts, giving students the chance to delve into different genres and styles. Through the study of classic and modern literature, learners are encouraged to analyse characters, themes, and narrative techniques, helping them enhance their understanding and enjoyment of stories.
To strengthen understanding, we organise sessions that immerse students in real-world contexts related to their studies. These could include drama performances, or visits from local authors and poets, all designed to inspire curiosity and a love for storytelling.
Additionally, we focus on skills days that concentrate on grammar and sentence construction. These sessions provide targeted instruction and practice, helping students refine their writing techniques and develop their ability to create clear and engaging texts.
In summary, our English programme is all about providing students with a well-rounded understanding of language and literature, equipping them with the skills to communicate confidently and creatively in a changing world.
