In KS3 English we study a range of poetry, prose and play fiction texts as well as explore a variety of non-fiction materials such as articles, speeches, and letters. Students are exposed to a plethora of genres and text types, including works from the middle ages such as The Pardoner, the 19th century The Adventures of the Speckled Band , and also modern texts like Private Peaceful and Refugee Boy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
