English is central to the curriculum and to society. Our intent focuses on pupils’ ability to communicate with others, expressing their well-informed ideas and emotions on society with articulation and fluency through the written and spoken word. The English Department aim to foster a love of literature and through reading a wide variety of literary heritage and modern texts, pupils acquire knowledge of the world around them developing culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Our pupils become fully functioning members of society, living out Gospel Values of respecting inherent human dignity, living with humility and the desire to serve others before themselves becoming Catholics of character who can make the world a better place.
