At Haywood Academy, the English department ultimately believes that students should emerge as confident communicators, fully prepared to enter the adult world. Our aim is for all learners to be able to speak, read and write fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions in a clear and articulate manner. Fostering a love for studying English, creative writing and celebrating excellence are some of our core values. Students study a breadth of fiction and non-fiction texts and are required to craft their own pieces with creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
