English Literature and English Language
Our curriculum for Key Stage 4 (Year 10 & 11) is designed to promote independent learning and high quality engagement whilst ensuring the very best outcomes for learners- regardless of starting points. By supporting pupils’ welfare and academic ability, we believe pupils achieve an enjoyment and preparation of English that often ignites a hunger to study English at KS5 and beyond- we want them to feel proud of their progress. Our aim is to regularly challenge pupils to create and consider developed responses in a nurturing environment where teaching is always pitched high.
