Works of poetry and drama are studied with a view to developing critical literary skills in Component One. The unit is separated into two sections and in both sections students will be required to know some of the ways in which individual texts are interpreted by different readers, and the ways in which texts relate to each other and the social, historical, cultural and literary contexts. This is a closed text examination; the essays are written without copies of the texts.
Entry at year 12 is by assessment at St Swithun’s during the first weekend in November of the year before her intended entry. The assessment includes a series of interviews and written papers in your daughter’s chosen A level subjects. The assessments are broadly based on the GCSE specifications except in the case of subjects which have not been studied before: these look for a general interest in the subjects and the ability to write logically.
