The English S1 course is skills based and focuses on the skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Talk. As a Faulty we use Novels, Plays, Poetry and Media as a basis to teach these skills.
On joining the school in August we will be providing all S1 with a Poetry booklet and a Language Skills booklet in order for S1 to have the necessary materials for both in school learning and potential home learning.
As a Faculty we work closely with the community Librarian who is working hard to create an number of new and different opportunities for young people to access literature over a number of different platforms.
In class all pupils can access chrome books to support in class learning.
As a Faculty we regularly engage in National writing competitions and media events.
