The English programme at Bromley Schools' Collegiate prepares you to teach both English Literature and English Language at secondary school level. You will be trained to develop students’ reading, writing, and analytical skills, while fostering a love for literature and language. The course focuses on helping students understand literary texts, write creatively and persuasively, and develop their communication skills.
With two placements, you will gain hands-on teaching experience in a supportive environment, gradually taking on more responsibility as you plan and deliver lessons.
Key Focus Areas:
The programme covers the analysis of classic and contemporary literature, creative and academic writing, and oral communication. You will learn how to teach students to engage with texts critically, write effectively, and express their ideas clearly. You’ll also develop strategies to prepare students for their English assessments.
Mentoring and Support:
You will be mentored by experienced teachers throughout your placements, ensuring you have the support and guidance needed to succeed in the classroom.
