King’s Ely has a thriving English department with eight members of staff in the senior school. All teachers in the department work closely together to promote a love of English and reading throughout the school. It is a happy and co-operative department: we run theatre trips, poetry readings, writing competitions, reading groups and generally promote literacy and literature across the school.
Teachers in the English Department are committed to fostering in students a love of reading and literature; we believe strongly in the centrality of reading to developing students’ facility in English. We contribute fully to the school’s life, not least in debating, creative writing, the school magazine, and in the annual Reading Festival. All classrooms have an interactive whiteboard and teachers are given their own laptops, while students bring their own devices into school.
