English Literature A-level is an ideal choice for anyone who loves reading and discussing and is interested in the big questions. You will develop your enjoyment of literary studies through reading and writing widely, independently and critically. We will also focus on the significance of cultural and historical influences upon readers and writers, and invite you to research connections and comparisons between different literary texts, informed by interpretations of other readers.
If we are then able to offer a place, please note that this is conditional upon your daughter reaching the minimum entry requirements for entry into our Sixth Form, namely: • at least six grade 7’s • a minimum of a grade 7 in both Maths and English GCSE • a grade 7 or 8 in the subjects to be taken at A-level Students will always be considered on their individual merits. The standard entry requirement for A-level English Literature is GCSE Grade 6 or above in both English Language and English Literature. Enthusiasm and reading are also important, as is a willingness to take an active part in discussions.
The course will be assessed through three open-book examination units on drama, prose and poetry. These units are worth 80% and will be examined at the end of the course. There is also a coursework component (Unit 4), which takes the form of a comparative essay between 2500 and 3000 words. This coursework unit is worth 20%.
