- Delivering engaging and inspiring English lessons
- Planning creative, high‑quality lessons
- Using stretch and challenge to encourage critical thinking and a deeper appreciation of language and literature
- Planning enrichment activities and co‑curricular opportunities that promote reading, writing, and oracy
