Our Year 11 students attended the Poetry Live! event this week at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall. The event included readings by some of the nation’s best-loved poets, including Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, John Agard and Carol Ann Duffy, who all appear on the English Literature GCSE syllabus. There were opportunities for the students to ask questions and have discussions, and Chief Examiners talked them through the skills they’ll need to succeed in the GCSE English Literature exams.
Many thanks to the English Department for organising the trip and giving our students the opportunity to see and hear some of the poets they are studying in person.
