To study English is to engage with the conversation of humanity. English Literature offers a world of creativity and inspiration to all who choose to study it at A Level. It allows pupils to make sense of people, cultures, history, society and themselves. Throughout the course, pupils will learn to think, write and speak for themselves. The English Department has teachers with a wide range of interests and specialisms, allowing for pupils’ individual literary preferences to be supported, particularly with university preparation and applications. In recent years many pupils have gone on to read English at university, including at Cambridge, Oxford, Birmingham, Exeter, Warwick, and majoring in English at Princeton. Two former Freemen’s pupils have gone on to chair the English Society at Exeter University.
