English
In English the skills you will acquire will provide you with the foundations for all your other subjects, whether you need to write up a science experiment or compose a formal letter in Business Studies.
English at Macmillan Academy, however, is not simply about providing skills for other subjects. It will be a challenging, thought-provoking, stimulating and relevant subject in its own right. You will be taught to analyse a range of texts across a variety of media, including newspapers, advertising, films and novels, expanding your knowledge of the world and yourself!
In English we offer a range of GCSEs beyond the compulsory English and Functional Skills English; there is the possibility of studying English Literature and you can choose to study Media Studies.
After Key Stage 4 you might go into the Sixth Form to study ‘A’ Levels in English Language, English Literature. English Language and Literature combined or Media Studies, courses which develop analytical skills and critical writing.
