Lower Secondary English
Outstanding education
At Milverton we aim to develop a lifelong enthusiasm for English literature and the English language.
Throughout the course students will:
- Become confident communicators both inside and outside the classroom
- Engage with a diverse range of texts from different genres, cultures and time periods.
- Learn to write convincingly for a range of different audiences and purposes
- Expand their vocabulary and apply it effectively within their writing and speech
- Develop a confident command of grammar
- Develop their ability to analyse texts
The texts that we study in lessons are carefully chosen to enthuse and challenge students and we strongly encourage learning that extends beyond the classroom through a wide range of reading challenges, creative writing competitions and other extra- curricular activities.
