English in Years 7-9 offers a lively range of activities which place equal emphasis on Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing. Students are encouraged to use a variety of forms and styles in their written work and to revise work to improve content, accuracy and presentation. The team is committed to combining creativity with technical and grammatical skills. Each student has a folder of work which is used to monitor progress.
