The English Department encourages reading of all genres: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays, newspapers, journals and all besides. This term, to facilitate the wonder of fiction, in class and in form time, our Year 7 students are enjoying The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe; our Year 8s Ghost Boys and Year 9s Noughts and Crosses. Of course, other books are introduced in English lesson time to broaden the scope. The English Department would be delighted if parents, carers and wider the family/friends network found time to discuss the plotline and characters; all input that brings the storyline alive is welcomed as it is hugely beneficial to all.
