Beyond The Curriculum:
The English Department is determined to offer a range of exciting enrichment activities for all students. Students are encouraged to participate in a range of activities and competitions which allow students to understand the authentic value of literature and language in the world. Weekly clubs include:
- Debating
- Public Speaking
- Creative Writing
In addition, we offer a Literary Society for 6th Form students, which meets fortnightly to discuss a range of literature beyond the syllabus. Student led choices have included: Marlowe’s ‘Dr Faustus’; Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’ and Carter’s ‘Nights at the Circus.’
Trips to the theatre are encouraged and supported, with many literature students taking advantage of the National Theatre Live and Royal Shakespeare Company Live screenings in cinemas. In Year 12, study is enriched with a live broadcast and discussion of an RSC performance from Stratford. In Year 13, students spend a day at The Globe Theatre, London, with a bespoke study day on key set text, Othello.
