What skills and experience we're looking for
What the school offers its staff
Our goal is to develop students to become literacy rich, global in their prospective and exposed to ambitious and diverse literature. Our inquiry based learning will train students to have high expectations of themselves. They will read ambitious texts, they will tackle challenging and evocative questions in order to evaluate, analyse and create work they are proud of. Our curriculum will examine sources and experiences from across the globe, exploring a multitude of races, creeds and cultures. Our learning experience will support all learners to achieve their individual best, challenging everyone at all levels. Our curriculum will be delivered in a positive, engaging and vibrant manner with the intention to encourage all students to play an active role in it. It will give students the knowledge base and the confidence to take risks and come out of the comfort zones. Our curriculum will build in excellence in literacy, ensuring that students’ vocabulary, written accuracy and literacy skills are consolidated throughout the course through high expectations, challenge and constant, rigorous reinforcement. Using the IB Learner Profile as a vehicle, our curriculum will create thoughtful and internationally minded young people through a broad and balanced approach to learning, driven by a culture of personal and interpersonal growth and development. English at SKA is a story told through the lenses of both Language and Literature. From Year 7 to Year 13 students are given the opportunity to explore, analyse and create language, considering great works of literature and their authors as well as the times in which they lived.
