Impact
At the end of the English Education curriculum, we hope that students will leave Oaklands enriched in the following manner:
- Have a love of reading and language
- Enable independent learning and build resilience
- Encourage respect, tolerance and empathy towards others
- Cultivate independent, profound thinking
- Engender a desire to make a significant contribution towards their role as active citizens and involvement in the immediate and wider community
- Empower them to be articulate, confident speakers
- Hone their ability and skills to reach their full potential.
In addition, students have used success in English to follow a number of university courses both of Literature and Language, as well as forging pathways into high-powered occupations such as law and journalism.
