Our mission is to ensure that every pupil achieves academic success and is able to truly fulfil their potential in English. We know that being academically successful at GCSE level in our subject has lifelong implications for our pupils’ future life chances. We want every pupil to achieve their very best in English, whatever their ability, so that they have as many options open to them as possible when they leave us in Year 11. In order to make our dreams for our pupils a reality, we foster values that aim to transform the lives of our pupils.

Through the study of carefully chosen texts and stimuli, we teach our pupils about those who are different to us; developing the skills of empathy, enquiry and understanding. We teach our pupils how to express themselves academically and to critically question what they read so that they have the skills to navigate the competitive and complex world beyond Kingsford in their written and verbal communication. Our curriculum is challenging, engaging, and inclusive and it equips pupils with the cultural capital needed to truly succeed; it aims to truly enrich the lives of our pupils, fostering a love of reading and of learning for leaning’s sake. Our teachers are passionate about our subject, and this means that our pupils will be too.
