Welcome to the English Department website
We believe that the study of English can have a very positive impact on the lives of young people. Our ultimate aim is to inspire students to go on to study the subject at A Level and university. However, whether they take the subject on at A Level or not, we want all students who study English at the school to find the experience enjoyable and enlightening, and to leave KES with a range of skills that will benefit them in the future lives.
If you have any questions about this website, or any aspect of English at the school, please contact Dr Alistair Schofield on ajs@kes.hants.sch.uk
