The English department at WCSA firmly believes that every child is capable of excellence; we encourage each member of our community to be the best version of themselves and ultimately to achieve their true potential within and beyond our classrooms.
Our curriculum is built upon the fundamental skills essential for all students to be successful within the school environment, as well as being life-long learners with endless life chances. Our rigorous and thoughtful curriculum is planned to build upon the existing knowledge a student possesses and enhance their horizons by progressing their knowledge and skills with each cycle of learning. The study of literature, and the commitment to covering it in all its forms throughout each year, is a central core to our planning. Across our 19 learning cycles students will develop the skills of analytical reading, academic writing and effective communication: these skills not only underpin success in GCSE English Language and Literature, but will further furnish our students with the tools required to access the wider world.

- A coaching programme to develop their practice within the classroom, working together to find solutions to improve learning and progress for all students.
- An excellent CPD programme based around WalkThrus materials that really allows staff to make use of research informed pedagogy to embed effective teaching strategies in the classroom.

- Support the delivery of the English curriculum building and providing high quality learning resources.
- Provide high quality learning experiences for students through the provision of challenging, stimulating and supportive teaching.
