The English Department is very active in booking regular theatre trips, although these differ from year to year based on what is available and in performance. We also attend talks and workshops wherever possible. In recent years, we have seen 'The Winter's Tale' at both The Globe and The Barbican, and we have watched performances of Jane Eyre at the National Theatre. A fun day out was a Shakespeare exhibition at the British Library, and we also attended a day of lectures run by Sovereign Education on 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
Students must have achieved a minimum of a grade 6 in English and English Literature at GCSE Level.
English is a popular, fun, yet rigorous choice at A level. This course (Specification A) allows the study of a range of texts in depth. We explore 'Love Through the Ages', focusing on the importance of literary periods, putting texts into context to examine the social milieu of the 'then and now': from the English Renaissance to the ever-changing world of Post-Modernity. Texts range from Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale' to Du Maurier's 'Rebecca'. There are unseen explorations and comparisons in both prose and poetry. The (20%) coursework element consists of a 2000-word essay, comparing two texts.
