School<br />
Titles of academic schools should begin with a capital S.<br />
Examples:<br />
We would like to welcome you to the School of Design, Craft & Visual Arts<br />
and hope that the landmark programmes we offer will be useful to your<br />
decision-making..<br />
The School has developed a diverse range of exciting courses where it has<br />
been at the forefront of educational innovation.<br />
Do not use a capital S when talking about schools more generally.<br />
Example:<br />
The Faculty of Society & Health is divided into three schools.<br />
Sentence construction<br />
Construct sentences so that they say what you mean.<br />
Example:<br />
Not: Walking onto campus, a duck flew into me. (This suggests that the duck<br />
was walking onto campus.)<br />
But: A duck flew into me as I was walking onto campus.<br />
