English

The main aim of the English Department is to prepare boys for Public School scholarship examinations, Winchester Entrance and Common Entrance.

Emphasis is placed on thorough grounding in the basics of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Boys are taught to write with clarity and precision. At the same time, an interest in, and a love of,  good literature is fostered. Boys at Horris Hill read widely and well.

They also have the opportunity to take part in plays and to participate in debates and public speaking competitions.
