You will study a broad range of literature, from Jonathan Coe and LP Hartley to William Blake and Lord Byron. We offer various trips, events and workshops to vary and enhance your experience and understanding of literature such as a seminar run by Jeanette Winterson and a trip to the Hay-on-Wye book festival as well as the obligatory visit to The Globe. When you study A Level Literature at A Level you automatically become a member of The English Society. As a member of this you will be involved in all kinds of English- related events designed to promote English around the school, from the popular ‘Eat My Words’ poetry cupcakes event, to Valentine’s Day debates and taking tea with visiting writers such as Owen Sheers. As a facilitating subject English Literature is one of the subjects both highly-regarded and recommended by the demanding Russell Group universities. It encourages you to respond to literature in a very personal way whilst considering the points of view of others and developing high degrees of communication and analysis.
