In order to develop the English curriculum and establish a clear ‘7 Year Journey’, we collaborated and established the essential skills, concepts and knowledge we believed students should know in order to really understand the subject to a high level.
In order to do this, we worked backwards from crucial understanding in KS5 all the way down to Year 7. We cover a range of poetry, drama and prose including both traditional and modern texts which allow students to explore the Cannon as well as be exposed to contemporary texts in both fiction and non-fiction. We have also strived to ensure our curriculum matches our school’s context and explores writers and topics which give students opportunity to read and engage with material which gives them cultural capital and allows them to identify their own place within literature as a young reader.
