Course Overview
The Cambridge IGCSE course, available in both a one-year and two-year format, will help students gain a deeper understanding of the English language and the art of effective communication, as they hone their reading, writing, and analytical skills.
The course covers a wide variety of texts, from classical to contemporary, including works of literature (drama, prose and poetry alike), non-fiction and media, used to develop students’ critical thinking and rhetorical skills as well as their skills of understanding the main ideas of a text; interpreting them and identifying their underlying meaning; comparing and synthesising multiple texts; critically evaluating texts and their authors’ perspectives and using evidence selectively and effectively.
Further, students will learn to communicate their ideas effectively, clearly, and imaginatively in both formal and informal settings, through persuasive essays, articles, letters, reports, and speeches on the one hand and spoken English on the other. The course also emphasises linguistic accuracy, encouraging students to master correct spelling, punctuation, and a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures, enabling them to write in a clear, coherent, well-organised, and insightful manner.
We will also hold an optional weekly one-hour class devoted to extended writing tasks from the student book. This is an opportunity to pull together and put into practice the skills learned that week. This class is included in the Year 1 course, but is also open to students in Year 2 who are looking for extra practice

The subject has a lot of different skills involved and is very well-rounded. Mr Pontifex is very understanding and very good at teaching. He gives us lots of opportunities for feedback and is good at pinpointing what we don’t understand.
Hugo Holmes Clough – :
I like learning more about English and writing stories. Very good teacher. Gives good feedback so I know what to change, and explains things very well. In the lesson, I understand everything He is saying, and if I don’t, I can ask, and he will explain again.
Anonymous – :
I required help with my English for the reason that it was a vague subject for me, and I required a thoughtful and patient tutor, which John has mastered in pretty much every way.
Mrs Wren – :
Emma is motivated to complete the tasks and enjoys connecting with other students. Great way to cover IGCSE English with others online. Teacher is calm and methodical.
