English

At CELC you will find we are committed to supporting your child to reach their full potential.  We have a varied curriculum that includes the study of English Language and English Literature.  Our students have the opportunity to gain formal qualifications in Functional Skills during year 10 and GCSE qualifications in year 11; this ensures they are equipped with the necessary skills that are so fundamental to the outside world.

Preparations begin in year 7 with the study of a range of texts, both fiction and non-fiction to ensure our students have a broad understanding of the skills needed to succeed.  Speaking & Listening is also a fundamental part of our preparation through Key Stage 3 and 4 as we realise the value in preparing our students to be independent, critical thinkers who can form their own opinion and know-how to approach formal interviews for future employment or education.

We have high expectations of our students and provide a supportive learning environment to enable them to make good progress. Students come to English understanding the expectations we have of them in terms of work, commitment and behaviour.  We will work collaboratively with students and parents to bring out the best in each individual student, adapting work and resources to suit their particular need.
