In this week’s English lessons, our Year 11 pupils practiced effective revision with the ‘diamond 9’ method, which allows pupils to organise key quotes in priority order in relation to specific themes. By discerning the most impactful quotes, pupils are sharpening their ability to craft well-supported arguments, an essential skill for success in their upcoming GCSE examinations.
As we continue to support and guide our Year 11 cohort through this crucial period, we encourage them to embrace innovative revision strategies like the ‘diamond 9’ method, empowering them to succeed in their GCSE examinations, which begin in four weeks.

Our Year 7 English pupils have been diving into the world of sonnets! Pictured here is Andrei, Zach, and Oliver, who delivered an excellent performance of Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 18’.
In their exploration of this poetic form, they captured the essence of Shakespeare’s work with finesse and skill. Sonnets, with their fourteen lines and intricate rhyme schemes, offer a unique challenge, and these pupils have risen to the occasion admirably. Shakespeare himself would surely be impressed by their interpretation!
