Subject Information
Einstein said of education that “it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge”; without knowledge our young people would not have the power to shape our future world. Through a thematic curriculum, students will learn about the past, present and future. Students will read, study and write a range of literary and non-literary texts to cultivate a love of learning that will transcend the classroom and develop their understanding of our world. Through strong relationships with our students we will teach the power of spoken and written language so that our young people have the words to challenge, persuade and shape a better world, not only for themselves but for all of us, including the next generation. In Key Stage 4 our students will study the Eduqas GCSE English Language and Literature specifications and in Key Stage 5 we offer AQA Literature B.
