English and Literacy

Head of Faculty: Mrs Jess Davies

Overview

The English and Literacy faculty are committed to fostering independent and resilient students. Fundamentally, we aim to develop literate students who are prepared for life both academically and socially; they will be secure in their oracy, reading and writing skills and use these to make sense of the world around them. We encourage the appreciation of literature and language and use the study of these to broaden horizons and fire creativity.

As practitioners, we will collaborate as a team to develop an engaging curriculum which encourages active learning and enjoyment. We place importance on professional dialogue and learning between colleagues to refine our practice and ensure our teaching and learning continues to evolve and progress.

It is imperative to instil confidence in our students so they are prepared to meet the demands of modern life and enable them to find success as accomplished and ethical citizens on a local, national and global scale.
