Our Team– You will join a genuinely supportive, strong team of teachers, which includes a healthy balance of ECTS and more experienced staff!
Our Curriculum - Our English curriculum is broad and balanced, engendering an enjoyment of reading across a range of forms, styles, genres and time periods. Our aim is to promote high standards of language and literacy, and to broaden our students’ horizons so they can become thoughtful, perceptive and confident young people.
Enrichment at Crawshaw - We believe it is important to foster an enjoyment of English by offering a range of enrichment opportunities. In recent years, we have arranged trips to Leeds Playhouse, The Globe Theatre in London and taken part in Poetry Live and the Into Film Festival. In school, students have been taking part in the Poetry Slam, a regional competition which, for several years, Crawshaw has won! We have also recently launched our new Creative Writing club, which allows students to express their creativity. We encourage our team to organise other enrichment activities such as World Book Day events and theatre trips.
Our Results– We are extremely proud of our strong results in GCSE English Language, which are above the national average; and are seeing rapidly improving results in GCSE Literature.
Opportunities for Growth - The Crawshaw English department frequently offers opportunity for professional growth: one of the team has recently taken on the role of Media Studies Lead and we have just appointed a KS3 Project Leader to assist our KS3 Programme Lead. There is also the opportunity to teach Media Studies within this role!
