English

English at Chaulden aims to encourage students to read widely for pleasure and, ultimately, to use literature as a gateway to access the world and its different viewpoints and perspectives.  We also aim to develop analytical reading and critical thinking skills that will enable students to discover, evaluate and critique the texts that they engage with.  Moreover, we strive to build a fluency in written and oral communication so that students are equipped to explore and present their thoughts, feelings and viewpoints and to produce students who have the confidence, articulacy, creativity and skills to contribute to their societies.
