English

In English we want students to…

Have an innate awareness of the ‘writer at work’ and how the writer has consciously constructed a text in order to create meaning.
Apply their knowledge of the ‘writer at work’ to enable them to develop as resilient and successful writers (who are able to communicate accurately, fluently and effectively for a wide range of purposes).
Be equipped with what we consider to be ‘essential knowledge’ in English:
1. A wide ranging vocabulary;
2. The rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation;
3. A wide range of literary terms and conventions.
Develop an understanding of the world around them and how they are connected to it through their exposure to a wide range of varied and challenging literature (including seminal world literature, classical and contemporary literature, fiction, non-fiction and literary non-fiction, prose, poetry and drama). We want students to appreciate and enjoy their reading experiences whilst also developing culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually.
