Year 11 English
11ENG Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms B. Haybittle.
The study of English is an essential basis for understanding all subjects. It involves developing skills in oral language, written language and visual language to help you take a full part in all aspects of life. It helps students grow in confidence through the use of language for a range of situations, purposes and audiences. It also exposes students to ideas, experiences and emotions through the work of a range of writers. Year 11 English is broken into two strands: Academic and Foundation. Both courses allow students to gain important literacy credits and both have the prerequisites for the Year 12 academic class in 2021.
