The AQA English Literature A Level Course's range of texts is ideal for anyone who loves reading and is interested in how society, history and culture have shaped literature. Our experience over recent years is that through the two year study, students learn not only how to read and interpret texts in a critical way, but they enjoy finding their own voice as they engage with the deeper meanings and connections between texts. For many, studying English Literature instigates a personal journey. The course is aimed at studying literature in time through prose, poetry and drama texts spanning four centuries. The 'Love Through the Ages' paper focuses on exploring the presentation of love in all its guises from the 15th century through to the present day. Considerations such a how certain historical and cultural 'times' have conceptualised and expressed love are examined. The 'Modern Times: 1945 To The Present Day' paper provides the opportunity to explore how life since 1945 has shaped literature. Ideal for those who enjoy history, politics and globaJisation, this paper allows students to study some of the most influential texts published alter WW2. The third component is based on coursework and is aimed at helping students to develop their research skills through independent study of two texts (one has to be published before the 20th C). Students will be required to produce a 2,500 word essay (excluding quotes) that is consolidated with critical views, academic referencing and original discussion. This component allows pupils to explore the areas of literature in which they are particularly interested.
Entry to the Sixth Form is by current school reports and predicted GCSE Grades. Candidates require a minimum of 3 x Level Six and 3 x Level Four/Five Grades at GCSE (3 B grades and 3 C grades) to enter the Sixth Form, however a minimum of a Level 7 at GCSE is required to study Maths or Physics at A-Level.
