Our Curriculum

Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils follow wide-ranging courses, addressing the strands outlined by the Curriculum for Wales. Our schemes of work focus on reading, writing and oracy. Pupils engage with a range of texts and produce a number of written responses, some of these in class, some as homework and some tasks form part of their formal assessments. Our exploration includes prose, poetry, drama and moving image. Oracy skills are developed through classroom responses and contributions, as well as in group debate, discussion activities, and individual presentations.

Pupils in Year 10 & 11 study the WJEC English Language course, with most classes also studying WJEC English Literature. These courses currently include controlled assessments and examination units.
