This course enables you to enjoy reading and discussing English Literature, and to increase your understanding of what the study of literature involves. The emphasis is on getting to know a wide range of texts in depth, both through close reading and through an appreciation of the contexts in which literary texts are written and understood. Compared with IGCSE English Literature, you will find A-Level less of a rush with much more emphasis on discussion, originality and independent study. Fluency in written expression is obviously an advantage, but many students who do not possess this when they start the A-Level course soon find that they develop it. Essay writing skills form a major part of the early stages of the A-Level course.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
There are two examined components and one coursework component. The two examinations are equally weighted and offer opportunities for you to provide extended, exploratory responses.
