Course summary

English is a popular choice for Sixth Formers at Cranleigh: currently about 60 pupils study English Literature at Advanced Level in the two years. Our aim is to ensure that, by the end of the course, our students are literate, analytically skilled and enthusiastic about literature. Cranleighans take a two year A-Level course, following the OCR syllabus, with students taking their A-Level papers at the end of the Upper Sixth. Students will sit two exam papers (‘Drama and Poetry pre-1900’ and ‘Comparative and Contextual Study’, in which they are expected to develop a detailed understanding of a particular literary genre) and will also submit a 3000-word folder of coursework essays, in which they write two essays about three texts, written after 1900.

Entry requirements
