What an inspiring school -loved meeting everybody and hearing all of your ideas. A school which welcomes the writer and has so many budding original writers in the school community is my kind of school!

All going to plan, we should arrive at the school at 9.45. Please park at the back of the car park to allow the bus ample space to turn. Thanks. See you soon!

🚨 New Display Alert 🚨

It has been great to get the chance to read through the S3 'Reading Journey' posters and get them up in the classroom. Lots of book inspiration for other pupils!

We can't help but wonder what Shakespeare would think of our pupils' Macbeth Memes... 🤔 Mrs White's S4 class made memes, short films, gifs and TikToks, bringing The Scottish Play right up to date! We love it. 🗡 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎭

[Duncanrig English Department @Duncanrig_Eng]

@MissSinclairEng Thank you! It's such an emotional story. Pupils really enjoy it.

[Duncanrig English Department @Duncanrig_Eng]

Another great wall display! Mrs White's S1 class studied "Once" by Morris Gleitzman. 1A2's wishes on their magic carrots really moved us. 😭 And then their wacky Imaginative Writing really made us laugh! 😂 Feeling all the feels in English today. ♥

Mr Wilkie's S1 class has been reflecting on the books that have been most important to them so far. Their Reading Maps plot their development from the first books read to them and taught to them, to the books they've been able to choose for themselves. 📚 ☺

We are looking forward to seeing all our parents tonight. We'll start at 7pm in D002 in the English corridor, D wing. If you can't make it, please ask your child to pick up paperwork and to submit their 2 photos and the £10 hoodie payment. 😊

Miss Scott's S2 class has got us feeling the love! They studied Emma by Jane Austen, and they thoroughly enjoyed learning about courting, matchmaking, and true love, Regency style! 🌸 😊

[Duncanrig English Department @Duncanrig_Eng]

We have been working hard to update our display boards with some of our pupils' fantastic work! Mrs White's S2 studied Jaws as a media text. They did so many great pieces but there just wasn't enough space for them all... We're gonna need a bigger board! 😂🦈 #Jaws

[Duncanrig English Department @Duncanrig_Eng]

Well done, boys! Fantastic achievement! #TogetherWeAreDuncanrig 😀

Please check your email for important information about Stratford 2024 sent today. A few people have mentioned that our emails have gone into junk folders! 😳 Please look for today's email or get in touch with Mrs White if you didn't receive it. Thanks.

[Duncanrig English Department @Duncanrig_Eng]

Good luck to all our pupils sitting Higher English tomorrow! You've got this! #TogetherWeAreDuncanrig
