Course summary

At Lady Lumley’s our A-level offer for Literature provides a wide-ranging program of study covering the key areas of academic investigation and research in Literature: poetry, prose, and drama, from early modern theatre, via the significant poets of the 17th to the 21st Centuries, to contemporary novels and drama. Students are provided with the study skills to be able to widen their independent study and research across an increasingly diverse field of critical theories and literary debate.

How you'll be assessed

The A-level is assessed in a combination of three essay-based written exams and a non-examined independently-researched literary essay (NEA). As with GCSE, our Exam Board is Eduqas, and their website provides useful overviews, suggestions for academic approaches to literary study, and links to wider reading and support materials.
