=**__About Heartlands English Wiki__**=

The purpose of this site is to give pupils working in English (part of the Expression faculty) preparing for **OCR GCSE English Language and Literature** exams the opportunity to download and create/share useful notes and exercises in a bid to foster independent learning in the subject, while **extending and improving pupil performance at KS3 and KS4.**

Wiki comes from the Hawaian word 'wiki-wiki' which means **VERY QUICK**. A wiki, therefore, is a **VERY QUICK ENCYCLOPEDIA**, which you can access online. Most importantly, it's all about the English courses you are currently doing at Heartlands. You can search this encyclopedia of English knowledge you NEED to know by using the **search bar** on the left. Just type in what you are looking for!

You can not only //access// this encyclopedia, but you can also EDIT it. If there is something that you find useful or you think should be on here, that means you can add it yourself! This is a really good way of learning! If all of you work together to improve **EVERY** page, then it really will be second to **NONE**. Don't worry about making mistakes: every time anyone tries to change the page in any way, the department have to 'approve' the change first. Let's make **The Heartlands Academy English WIKI** the envy of schools nationwide.
