English

The overarching aim for KS3 English in Sidmouth College is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment. Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for the demands of the GCSE and into the future.
 
Above all else, we pride ourselves in making the learning and studying of English a fun, interactive experience for all.

What do students study?

Throughout the key stage students have the opportunity to study a range of prose, drama texts, poetry, creative and transactional writing.
 
Our curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
  • read easily, fluently and with good understanding 
  • develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information 
  • acquire a wide vocabulary and an understanding of grammar which we underpin through our teaching 
  • write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences 
  • use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas 
  • are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate. 

How are students assessed?

Students are assessed half-termly through a range of methods. The primary method is through written assessments in a dedicated assessment book – these assessments are marked by the class teacher. We also assess students through speaking and listening.
 
Peer assessment and self-reflection are incorporated in the schemes of learning.
 
We also assess at the end of each year through examination.
