English Department Aims

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

Albert Einstein

All teachers aim to foster a challenging and supportive environment where our passion for the subject is evident and nurtured in the pupils. In all our classrooms, pupils will be actively engaged in well-paced, challenging lessons that allow each and every one of them to achieve their potential and beyond. Pupils will be supported in working toward the school values of respect, compassion, responsibility, commitment and honesty.

Curriculum

The English department offers rich and varied courses from S1 to S6, and aims to provide pupils with language and literacy skills which will serve them well in life beyond school. In the Broad General Education phase from S1-S3, courses cover CfE English and Literacy Experiences and Outcomes to levels 3 & 4 across the four modes: Reading, Writing, Listening and Talking. Pupils will explore and understand how the English language works, and will gain from the study of a variety of stimulating texts in Poetry, Prose, Drama and Film. They will also have the opportunity to research and present independently on a range of topics and themes. These may well be cross-curricular, and are likely to involve use of the excellent school library and the internet. Such work will enhance pupils’ research skills and ability to organise and present their work.
