If you have a love of books, poetry, or the theatre, an aptitude for critical reading, and an agile mind, you are sure to enjoy English Literature. This is the side of English that deals with the study of novels, poetry and drama. We will explore the impact of culture on literature and vice versa; it is an ideal place to bring your interests to bear. You can use your knowledge of history. psychology, philosophy and classical literature in English. Studying English Literature is a combination of creativity and rigour - you will be encouraged to come up with your ideas and justify them through discussion and debate. You will also learn to write well - a rigorous, intellectual, well-founded argument forms the basis of your work.
Our standard Sixth Form offer for A levels or IB is a total of 62 GCSE points from nine subjects, which is calculated by adding up all grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. (The minimum therefore is eight grade 7's and one grade 6, or equivalent.)
