Statement of Intent The English Department is a successful and forward thinking department, characterised by a strong sense of collaboration and enthusiasm for our subject and our pupils. 
In our department, we strive to foster a love of language and literature in our pupils. We aim to develop pupils' ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of contexts; to enable pupils to use accurate Standard English and develop an interest in the richness of the English language in its various forms. 
We endeavour to give pupils the opportunity to read texts by contemporary authors and also those celebrated within our literary heritage and through this, we encourage a love of reading and literature within the school community. 
In light of the challenges presented by COVID-19, we have redesigned our curriculum to ensure that all pupils are able to achieve highly and become well-rounded individuals.
