In English at RGS, we will broaden our horizons by meeting new people and new cultures through texts from a range of times and places. We will understand and appreciate the value of our literary heritage, using this knowledge to make sense of the present day. We will read widely including a range of fiction and non- fiction texts and will be curious about language and vocabulary. We will use language effectively ourselves, becoming highly articulate individuals, with the vocabulary and rhetoric to be able to express our own voices and independently formed opinions, as well as challenge others where necessary. Above all we will develop empathy which will allow us to become open minded individuals who embrace and enjoy the wider world around us.

 
We believe stories are fundamental to our understanding of the world, and therefore our curriculum is structured using the three core strands of Voices, Literary Heritage and Empathy, visiting Stories Through Time in Y7, Stories Across Place in Y8 and Stories of People in Y9.
 
As Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie said, “Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity….When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.”
