English

 

Whether going to England or not, English is an international, dynamic, multi-faceted, fun language for all and this is mirrored in the teaching and learning of English at Belhaven Hill.

 

The overriding goal of the English Department is to instil an appreciation of both the spoken and written word while ensuring that by the time pupils leave Belhaven Hill they are equipped to speak, read and write fluently and confidently.

 

The department also runs regular debating competitions for senior pupils; an annual Spoken English Competition; and a Burns’ lunch and poetry recital.
