“In language lies the most important difference
between mankind and the rest of the animal kingdom. Language expresses identity, enables
co-operation, and confers freedom. In
language we create a symbolic model of the world, in which past and present are
carried forward to the future. Language
is the naming of experience, and what we name we have power over.”
(The Kingman Report)

We aim to support all pupils in their understanding of the subject, both in the classroom and the wider context, as we continually push them to achieve beyond their expected grades. We are a diverse team that blends youthful enthusiasm and experience to get the best from our pupils.
