In English Literature we engage with what is interesting about studying literary texts: exploring how deeper meanings arise, debating the issues that texts raise, and developing our critical interpretations. Building on your enthusiasm for literature and a confident set of GCSE skills, you will experience a broad range of texts, authors, and forms. Taking part in exploratory discussions will enable you to express, develop and challenge your own opinions, and to discover and utilize your critical voice. The skills you will develop are invaluable for further academic study and employment: students of literature are thoughtful, and analytical, and can express their ideas with confidence and eloquence.
