​

English is a vital subject that supports development across all areas of learning, serving as an essential life skill and a lifelong source of enjoyment. Our goal is to help pupils of all abilities appreciate the many uses of the English language, take pleasure in its richness and diversity, and develop the ability to communicate effectively in both speech and writing. Equally important is instilling independent learning and critical thinking skills, empowering pupils to analyse, question and express their ideas with confidence and clarity.
