What the school offers its staff
Within the College we have a strong focus on high quality teaching and learning, supported by excellent staff development and an active student voice group. We believe that the very best learning takes place when students and adults work together in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. We, of course, have very high expectations for our students’ behaviour and they in turn can have equally high expectations for the quality of their lessons.
The English Department
We are a collaborative and motivated team who have a passion for teaching and seeing our students achieve their potential.
Students are taught in mixed ability groups in year 7 with support offered to the weaker students. From year 8, students are streamed into ability classes. We offer a varied and stimulating curriculum which aims to allow students to develop into creative and critical thinkers with an excellent command of both the written and spoken word.
GCSE classes are taught in ability groups and we study the AQA syllabus at Key Stage 4. All of our students study both Language and Literature. We are committed to offering our students an engaging and enriching curriculum both inside and outside the classroom.
