The Petchey Academy English Subject Area is an innovative and exciting area.  We strive to teach a mixture of traditional and modern texts in a variety of exciting ways.

Students study a range of novels, poetry, lyrics, formal reports, broadsheet news articles, Shakespeare, film production, advertising and creative writing to name a few!

Year 7 students are currently studying a variety of extracts from a number of Shakespeare plays to familiarise themselves with the themes and language for which the Bard is famous!

Year 8 students are exploring a range of traditional War Poetry and comparing it to modern songs which fit the genre and themes.  They will write a comparative essay linking the themes and poetic language used and comment on the role of these writers in times of war and peace.
