At Tower House, the English Department encourages initiative, individuality, independence, creativity and enquiry. We support and celebrate pupils using adventurous vocabulary and writing in original and unique ways.  We encourage active participation in class and group discussion and allow our pupils to ask and answer questions freely. 

We seek to enable every pupil to develop their ability to read, write, speak and listen and to do so with pleasure.  We aim to engender a love of literature through class and independent reading and by doing so we promote a wider understanding of the society in which we live and the society in which others live.

We aim to support our pupils where and when necessary, but, ultimately, want them to succeed by themselves.
