Giving students the opportunities to explore a wide range of texts and authors which they may not otherwise encounter.
As well as the functional skills and knowledge of language students need for the world of work, we will also equip students for the academic study required at a higher education.
Students will develop their analytical skills alongside improving their ability to create thoughtful and engaging non-fiction and fictional pieces of writing.
