Students from year 7-9 Start off with Key Stage
3. They are tiaught the basics of English Landuage and English
Literature.
Every year new students come to Breeze Hill from overseas.
They mostly come from Pakistan or Bangladesh. If they have little
or no English on arrival, we provide a special programme of intensive
English lessons to enable them to take part in mainstream lessons.
These take place in Room 9. We try to provide one hour a day for
these students. |
Pupils in years 10 and 11 follow the Northern Examination
and Assessment Board course. This is divided into 2 subjects:
- English Language
- English Literature
Both subjects are divided into two levels: Higher, for grades
A* to D and Foundation, for grades C to G.
The exam board requirements are changing. Further information
is available from the department.
Coursework:
Oral and written coursework is undertaken during years 10+11 pupils

produce evidence of personal, creative writing, either real or
imaginary. They must be able to show that they can respond to
novels, plays and some early literature as well as show the ability
to research, draft and revise work. Coursework must include the
reading and study of novels, plays and poetry as well as the
