This A-level is all about literature: reading books, analyzing books, investigating and considering the contexts of books, comparing books and interpreting books. A love of literature and a willingness to read beyond your usual preferences are essential. At post-16 in our dynamic and successful English department, you will meet friendly students and be taught by enthusiastic and committed experts, who are always on hand to share their love of literature and to support you in your A-level studies.
We follow the AQA English Literature A syllabus at A-level, which is assessed through two final examinations, each worth 40% of your overall grade, and a non-examined assessment element, worth 20%. The AQA English Literature A course is academically challenging, highly rewarding and extremely popular here at Tudor Grange Academy Kingshurst. Students follow a lively and varied programme of study, with opportunities to read and discuss a range of texts, issues and authors. Paper 1 allows you to study an exciting assortment of poetry, prose and drama texts linked by the theme of ‘Love through the ages’. Paper 2 brings with it a variety of texts based on ‘World War I and its aftermath’. What you read for pleasure is also part of what you study – and it will fuel you as a reader and as a person for the rest of your life. The non-examined assessment element of the AQA A Level course allows students the opportunities to explore their own literary loves in new lights.
