Studying literature allows you to study the human psyche, experience and social contexts over time. Being able to read, evaluate and appreciate any content is an essential skill that will only increase in importance as the platform for sharing news and views that will be published grows. It also connects us to ideas and feelings not always so easily shared, as James Baldwin observed: “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read...” The OCR A Level in English Literature qualification will build on the knowledge, understanding and skills established at GCSE, introducing you to the discipline of advanced literary studies, and requires reading from all the majority literary genres of poetry, prose and drama. The course will allow you to develop independence and judgement as you synthesize and reflect on your knowledge and understanding of a range of literary texts and ways of reading them.
You should be on track to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 4 - 9, including a grade 5 English Language and/or English Literature.
