British Library trip

Enrichmentnesses,

this trip would be so worth your while but if it doesn't have much more takeup soon it will be cancelled. Get your money in to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to go - the other thing that might happen is it gets opened up to AL1s and then all the places go before you get  a chance to book. So if you are intending to go (everyone should), don't delay!

English Language Trip to the British Library London, Wednesday 25th January 2017 


During the first half term of new year we will be running a trip for A level English language students to visit the British Library. We will also be given the opportunity to take part in 2 practical workshop sessions which are very relevant to the A level syllabus: Sounds Familiar, this session introduces ways of analysing spoken English. Students will learn about language variation, and regional vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar in the UK. Exploring English in which students will look at some of the key turning points in language change and develop an understanding of the diversity of the English language.

This trip is highly recommended for all students taking the course. It promises to be a fantastic opportunity for students to gain some real insight into these aspects of English language and we urge students to book their place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. 


The cost of the trip will be £12.00 which is the price for the workshops and transport to and from London. If anyone feels that they are unable to or have difficulties with payment, please contact a member of the English department for further information/advice. 


We aim to leave college around 7am in order to arrive in London our first workshop at 10.45. We hope to leave London around 3.30pm and arrive back at college between 7-8pm depending on traffic. Parents should be aware that the students have to make their own arrangements home to and from college at these times. Students should take their own lunch. However there are facilities at the venue to buy lunch whilst there. 




Yours sincerely,
