English

English has a prominent place in education and in society. A high-quality education in English will teach pupils to speak and write fluently, so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others. 

Through reading in particular, pupils have a chance to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Reading also enables pupils to acquire knowledge and to build on what they already know. All the skills of language are essential to participating fully as a member of society.
