Harrow's English department has a strong tradition of combining creative teaching with extremely strong examination performance; it is a large and busy department that achieves excellent results at all levels and continues to attract healthy numbers at A level. It consists of nine full-time teachers, some of whom teach Drama as well as English. Most of the department is housed in one building, and teachers have well-equipped classrooms, including a Surface Book computer and a projector to enable the effective use of IT. Teachers are given a considerable level of freedom in the choice of texts where possible, and boys are encouraged to read widely and ambitiously. The School's reading strategy ensures that each boy has ring-fenced time each week for reading simply for pleasure. The department currently prepares boys for CAIE IGCSE in both English and English Literature; in the most recent public exams, 84% of English grades were 9-7 and 89% of English Literature grades were 9-7. At A level, boys follow the OCR specification and results have been consistently impressive: in 2023, 41% of boys received A* grades and 64% achieved A*-A grades. There are numerous English competitions that run throughout the academic year, from poetry recitation to short-story writing, and boys from all year groups take part in these. There are two main English societies, both named after prominent Old Harrovian writers. The Sheridan Society is the main literary society and is focused on organising talks, lectures and theatre trips. The L P Hartley Society is for boys with an interest in creative writing and is primarily a forum for sharing and developing boys' own work. The department's creative writing magazine, in collaboration with Harrow International schools, showcases the best work produced by boys from all year groups.
