An A Level in English Literature offers the exciting opportunity to read across the major genres of poetry, drama and prose, written during the last four centuries. This will include the study a Shakespeare play and a modern play, an anthology of poetry written before 1900 and a contemporary collection of poetry and, finally, at least two novels. These are divided into two thematic papers: ‘Love Through the Ages’ and ‘The Modern World’. In addition, you will be able to write an extended essay (NEA) on two literature texts of your choice, at least one of which must have been written before 1900.
At Sixth Form, entry to Abbotsholme is normally dependent on GCSE results (or equivalent passes) of at least five C grades/level 4 or above.
A Level English Literature is 80% exam based and 20% coursework.
