Audenshaw School's English department is wholly committed to providing our pupils with an interesting and inclusive curriculum that is clearly differentiated across all three key stages. We deliver the core skills necessary in order for all of our pupils to use the English language effectively through the mediums of speech, reading and writing. Furthermore, pupils are actively encouraged to expand their knowledge through understanding the talk and writing of others. The imagination of our pupils are stimulated and stretched through their own response to language and their own creative work.
We aim to enable students to become confident and proficient users of English through a variety of engaging teaching and learning styles. Pupils are encouraged to become intelligent and discriminating readers through the promotion of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts tailored relevantly to age and ability. We also aim to engage and inspire our pupils through an active enjoyment of literature and language in all its forms and we aim to nurture and develop a confidence when approaching literature independently.
The English department is a forward thinking and dynamic unit; our large team consists of a blend of youth and experience and all of our teachers work together, alongside our pupils and parents, to maintain our exceptionally high standards: in 2010, the department secured our most successful set of examination results across all age groups and abilities. All members of the department are passionate and enthusiastic English specialists, who are dedicated to raising standards of achievement for all of the pupils who study English at Audenshaw.
