Students value the opportunity to engage thoughtfully and responsively with both modern and older texts and learn a great deal about the context surrounding their areas of study as well as learning about literary techniques and effects.
They learn to express themselves fluently and skilfully and this equips them with the confidence to present their views and showcase their skills in a range of situations both in school and in society as a whole.
At Teesdale students enjoy their English lessons, have confidence in their teachers, feel that lessons are fun and most importantly of all feel that they learn a lot.
As an English department we all find working with our students extremely rewarding and enjoyable and it is clear from our students’ comments that they enjoy their lessons too!
