Coatbridge High School’s motto is “Dare to Dream, Aim to Achieve” and this is a sentiment we embrace in the English and Media department.

We want all pupils who come through our department from S1 to S6 to feel included, supported, challenged and to be successful and confident. We use a wide variety of texts to stimulate thinking in our classes and help support development of literacy skills but also promote pupils’ health and wellbeing too. We believe in challenging pupils with the aim of helping to think critically about the world around us and make informed decisions for themselves.
