The English Department is dedicated to providing an engaging and enriching educational experience for Year 7 and Year 8 students. Our mission is to ignite a passion for literature by introducing them to a vibrant array of texts spanning various genres. From classic British literature to captivating works from diverse cultures, we encourage students to explore different forms of both fiction and non-fiction, broadening their horizons and deepening their understanding of the world.

In addition to our dynamic curriculum, we proudly offer the Accelerated Reader Scheme, which empowers students to discover the joy of reading while enhancing their literacy skills. Our targeted SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar) lessons further ensure that students build a strong foundation in language skills, setting them up for success in their future studies.

Overall, our goal is to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to excel in the KS4 GCSE English Literature and Language curriculum. We believe that a love for reading and a strong grasp of language will inspire students to express themselves confidently and creatively, fostering a lifelong appreciation for literature and communication. Join us on this exciting journey through the world of words!
