English Introduction

The English Department is one of the largest departments in the school. Its primary task is to provide students with the communicative tools they need in order to become successful users of English at an advanced level. All students follow a course of studies in both English Language and English Literature until Year 5 when they sit for all IGCSE subjects.

The underlying philosophy of the Department is that all students extend their proficiency in English, both orally and written, as well as to learn about the English language in a global, multicultural context. Fundamental to this is the understanding and appreciation of all forms of literature throughout their school life.

All students complete courses in First Language English and English Literature and may select to follow AS/A Level courses in English Literature and English Language (Linguistics).

The English Department has three dedicated classrooms in the main building: Rooms 4, 5 and 6. All AS/A Level Literature and Language lessons, as well as many IGCSE classes are held in the English Centre which is located between the Head teacher’s residence and the Radio club.
