Subject Information - English

Our purpose in the English department is to implement a high-quality knowledge-rich curriculum that is delivered through high-quality teaching and student engagement. We seek to empower our students through the explicit and focused teaching of a wide repertoire of sophisticated and ambitious vocabulary. We will ensure an academic exploration of powerful knowledge with a focus on retention and application. We will prioritise the meaningful study of the concepts that underpin literature, individuals, society, and the world around us. We seek to inspire the next generation of powerful voices. Our curriculum is broad in that we cover a range of whole texts whilst also exploring the best that has been written and said through a wide range of extracts and poems.


Consequently, through empowering our students, we foster a love of English as a subject and enable students to perceive its value to them. By equipping our students with knowledge, vocabulary and meaning, we enable our students to unlock the next challenge within their sequenced journey through English at Padgate.


Through this, we equip our students with the skills and knowledge for them to access the next stages of their life after school. Some may go onto an education and career within English, however, whatever our students’ choices, their study of English at Padgate Academy is designed to benefit them regardless of course or career choice.


We want to ensure students have the confidence to express their opinions and perspectives whilst also understanding and appreciating the opinions and perspectives of others. We champion the oracy and writing skills that will enable them to express themselves articulately and creatively with a sophisticated vocabulary toolbox. We also develop a reading proficiency that enables them to appreciate a wide variety of English literature through their own reading and the study of texts in class. We also aim to develop an understanding and appreciation of the wider world outside Warrington and how they contribute to it.
