The English department has a vision consistent with that of the school in that the pupils will be encouraged to achieve the highest possible standards and to use their minds well.
The pupils will be expected, in English, to demonstrate moral and spiritual awareness as well as values of trust, fairness and mutual respect for themselves and their community.
The department emphasises high achievement and encourages the development of enquiring minds and also we hold it to be true that success comes from commitment on the part of pupils, parents and staff.
The English department runs regular visits to the theatre, which give students the opportunity to see productions relevant to their work in English. Other key aims of these visits are to encourage students to develop an interest in theatre and to interact with other students and staff in a way not possible in school.
