English

"Books may well be the only true magic." - Alice Hoffman

Department Overview

At Biddenham, English empowers students to engage with the world.

We aim to inspire students to become curious readers, critical thinkers and powerful communicators.

We will introduce our students to a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts. These are chosen to model the values of tolerance, mutual respect that we wish to instil in our young people. Through these texts, we aim to foster a love of reading as well as expanding their cultural capital and awareness of great literature.

We aim to recognise the prior learning of our students, allowing them to build their reading and writing skills in order to achieve their maximum potential.
