Introduction
“English is a vital way of communicating in school, public life and
internationally. Literature in English is rich and influential, reflecting the
experience of people from many countries and times. In studying English, pupils
develop skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. It enables them to
express themselves creatively, imaginatively and to communicate with the others
effectively.” (English National Curriculum)
The English and Media Studies Department are committed to achieving high
standards of excellence and we encourage our students to be responsible, highly
motivated, well-mannered young people, equipped for the challenges of further
education and employment. We provide an environment in which all pupils have
access to an inspiring, broad and rich curriculum. To complement this, and to
further stimulate an interest in English and Media, we arrange a number of day
and residential trips, as well as having visitors and theatre companies coming
in to school.
Getting Results
We are extremely proud of our exam results at KS3, which have kept us at the top
in Fenland for the past two years, and we are also seeing a steady improvement
each year in our GCSE results. To help students achieve their best in exams,
there are additional study sessions after school (and even at weekends!) and
Aiming High evenings so that parents know how they can help too. |

Exciting Developments
The start of A Level English at Cromwell, is exciting and will offer our
students greater choice when selecting courses in further education. The take-up
of English at A Level has been very good.
