Welcome
Being transported out of the classroom and into the worlds of others is, we feel, the most powerful experience we can provide for our children. Through the study of English, we hope to immerse our students in the lives and experiences of others to enable them to appreciate the world which surrounds them and develop their own moral and cultural understanding. At the same time, we will work to embed the necessary skills needed for your child to become effective communicators in both the written word and verbally, providing the tools needed to succeed in life after secondary school. We look forward to welcoming all children into the department to begin their literary journey with us.
