The+English+Workshop


 * Is English one of your favourite subjects?
 * Would you like to study English beyond the age of 16 (i.e. A Levels and even University)?
 * Do you love reading?
 * Do you enjoy drama?
 * Do you find it fun to experiment with language?

If you have answered YES to all these questions, then THE ENGLISH WORKSHOP might just be for you...

 * THE ENGLISH WORKSHOP will involve a small number of students from Years 8-10.
 * Anyone can apply, but a maximum of four places are available for each year group.

Successful applicants will, among other opportunities and activities:

 * enrol on a new, exclusive 'Creative Writing' BLOG, where they will work collaboratively on weekly writing tasks;
 * be assigned an e-mentor, who will be a current English undergraduate at Oxford or Cambridge University;
 * attend regular, frequent (and subsidised) theatre trips to some of the most challenging and powerful drama on the London stage;
 * commit to setting up, developing and publicising their own English-related BLOG, WIKI or PODCAST;
 * attend periodic 'masterclasses' - either in school or at outside venues - with important figures from the world of literature and literary study.
