'More able students in English demonstrate an avid interest in reading a wide range of materials, demonstrating a thorough comprehension of complex ideas and the ability to perceive underlying structures, patterns and alternative meanings. They are highly articulate and verbally fluent for their age, often communicating well with adults. They use a wide-ranging vocabulary and complex sentence structures correctly. More able students develop their critical and reflective thinking skills, learning to justify opinions with evidence and challenge assumptions.'
By fostering deep engagement with texts, refining analytical and writing skills, and encouraging independent learning, the English Faculty creates a stimulating environment where more able learners thrive.
