Acting Head of English: Miss K Levitt
The English Faculty at Harlington offers a three year course in English Language and Literature, and a one year “taster” course in Media Studies in year 9, to enable students to obtain a good grounding before the start of a two year GCSE course which starts in Year 10. Personalised learning is very much at the forefront of these courses, so that students are set carefully to enable them to progress at a pace which is suitable to their abilities and interests, but not fixed, so that students have flexibility with in the system as they develop their skills.
We believe that all students should become independent learners who take responsibility for improving their learning and performance, and programmes of study and homework reflect this. We aim to foster the love of our subjects, both in and out of lesson time, and provide a range of extra – curricular activities and clubs where students can develop interests and improve their skills.
