As C. S. Lewis said, ‘We read to know we’re not alone.’ The study of literature allows us to see the world differently and also allows us to connect with the experiences of others, exploring characters perhaps far removed from our everyday lives. In a more practical sense, the subject offers the opportunity to form and shape arguments, allows for the development of intellectual and critical thinking, provides an excellent grounding in professional written work and demands that we think carefully about the way language is used to shape meaning.
For entry into the Sixth Form we require a positive end of school testimonial and normally the securing of a minimum six GCSEs, including Maths and English, at grades 9-5 (or grade equivalent). Students should achieve a grade 6 or above in those subjects they wish to take at A-Level. For subjects with no associated GCSE, the grades achieved in other subjects will be taken into consideration.
