English
The aim of Key Stage 3 English is to help students become skilful communicators in both written and spoken communication. Students will do this by reading and analysing all forms of fiction and non-fiction texts; explore the power of language and experiment with their own expressions of communication. At the heart of English we want to foster a passion for stories – whether they are real or imagined; theirs or another’s. It is the ability to understand another person’s story whilst being able to tell your own that helps a person to understand themselves and the world around us.
