English High Attainers Explore The Turn of the Screw

As part of this week’s English High Attainers programme, 17 students from Years 8 to 10 joined Mr Grimmett’s Year 12 English Literature class to explore the supernatural elements in The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.

Working in pairs with Sixth Form students, they engaged in thoughtful and collaborative discussions. Together, they identified key quotations, analysed literary techniques and explored characters in greater depth. It was fantastic to see such strong teamwork and enthusiasm across year groups.

The opportunity to experience A-Level Literature gave younger students an exciting insight into advanced study, and many spoke afterwards about how much they enjoyed the intellectually stimulating experience.
