English Literature is a course for students who enjoy reading as well as developing their ideas through discussion and close textual analysis. Students study a range of texts within a particular theme. They also gain an understanding of the contexts in which these texts were written and about the different ways they were received in the past and can be read now. English Literature is a highly regarded qualification. It is an essential qualification for a wide range of Higher Education courses, especially those relating to the worlds of communication in the Arts and the media, A few areas of life do not benefit from increased skills of critical analysis and personal expression. The course is also rewarding and enjoyable in its own right. There are two main areas of focus: Love Through the Ages and Texts in Shared Contexts. Students also have the opportunity for non-exam assessment. This is a comparative critical study of two texts culminating in an extended essay.
5 GCSEs at Grades 4-9, including 5+ in GCSE English Literature or English Language.
There will be 2 written exams of 2 hours 30 minutes. These will make up 80% of your final marks. The remaining 20% of your marks will come from coursework which will consist of a comparative essay based on two literary texts and a close reading or re-creative writing with commentary.
