The English department strives to be at the heart of a vibrant curriculum at Birkdale High School. As a team, we are committed to ensuring that all of our boys thrive across all three core disciplines: reading, writing and oracy, to support them in all of their subjects across the curriculum but also to empower them to remain intellectually curious, lifelong learners. All teachers within the English Department are dedicated to work collaboratively, cultivating a climate of excellence and are passionate about ensuring our boys harness a desire and enthusiasm to learn and succeed. Through our knowledge-rich curriculum, our aim is for all students to foster a genuine love of learning and to appreciate the intrinsic value of education. Learning to the point of mastery enables students to access increasingly challenging aspects of learning with confidence and apply their knowledge to a range of meaningful contexts. We aim to ignite students’ imagination through reading for pleasure and to help broaden their understanding and perspective of the world around them.
