The English department aims to inspire and instil a life-long love of literature in all students.
It is now compulsory for all students to study English Language and English Literature at GCSE level. The English department aims to inspire and instil a life-long love of literature in all students. We encourage students to read for pleasure, at home on a regular basis (approximately 20 to 30 minutes every day) as we believe that this will significantly increase their chances of gaining the equivalent of a good pass or higher in English Language GCSE and English Literature GCSE.
