English Literature is a course for people who love reading, discussing and arguing. It is a course for people who want to study a discursive subject at university, but also a course for people who want to pursue a scientific career. Studying English Literature will keep you in touch with culture and allow you to be an informed reader for the rest of your life. English Literature is for anyone who thinks, anyone who reads, and anyone who writes. Great literature is about life and death, love and loss, laughing and crying, and this course covers all of these and more. What could be better than that? What skills or background information will be needed? You need the skills of GCSE English, and you need to love reading.
The requirements for entry to the Sixth Form are six good grades (9 - 6) at GCSE unless there are extenuating circumstances. Given the demands of A-level study, you should have attained at least a grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A level (or ideally a grade 9 in Mathematics if you wish to study Further Mathematics). Throughout Year 11 you are given a great deal of guidance to select the course of study that best suits your academic needs and career aspirations.
Love through the Ages (incorporating Drama, Poetry and Prose) One x 3 hours examination, with some set texts allowed World War I and its aftermath (incorporating Drama, Poetry and Prose) One x 2 hours 30 minutes open book examination Independent Critical Study of Texts across Time (two texts of student’s choice)
