Subject – English

As teachers we are acutely aware that literacy skills and self-esteem often go hand in hand. We work hard to create a positive learning environment in which an atmosphere of mutual respect, enjoyment and encouragement are nurtured to ensure each student achieves if not exceeds their potential.

Our English curriculum offers pupils the opportunity to be successful and gain qualifications through Entry Level Certificates, Functional Skills qualifications and GCSE examinations.

Our aim is to enhance our pupil’s life opportunities by providing a curriculum that develops reading, writing and communication skills so that when pupils leave Brompton they have a love or reading, are proficient writers and confident communicators who are ready for the next step in their learning journey.
