Welcome students, parents and carers to this blog. This will allow you to see recent news, upcoming events and information about GCSEs in English at The Cherwell School. Please use the search bar on the right to find information about particular texts and use the links to support learning outside of the classroom. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ONLY USE INFORMATION THAT IS RELEVANT TO YOUR CLASS - WE DON'T ALL TEACH THE SAME TEXTS! If you have a question, you can leave a comment (they do not publish immediately as they have to be moderated) and your query will be answered ASAP.
