Course summary

English Literature is an A level for students who enjoy reading and sharing their views on literature with like-minded individuals. Independence of thought is at the heart of learning, and there is nothing more important than the regular seminars where you’ll present your prepared interpretations of the texts and will be challenged to support them in discussion forums. Texts include Shakespeare’s great tragedies and other drama written before the 20th century. Poetry texts range from before and after the 20th century – and a selection of prose fiction is clustered around exciting and stimulating themes such as dystopia, the Gothic, women in literature or the immigrant experience.

Entry requirements

Pupils entering the sixth form are expected to have obtained ‘C’ grades in most core subjects and at least a grade B in their chosen A Level subjects. They will be expected to be able to cope with the demands of A Level courses in at least three subjects. Some A Level courses require higher GCSE grades, specific details on request from the Marketing and Admissions Team.
