OCR A Level English Literature allows you to study works from the Middle Ages all the way up to the present day. In recent years, pupils have enjoyed exploring a diverse range of texts such as Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’; ‘The History Boys’ by Alan Bennett; ‘Amadeus’ by Peter Shaffer; ‘Look Back in Anger’ by John Osborne; Alan Silitoe’s ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’; F Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’; Ernest Hemingway’s ‘A Farewell to Arms’; ‘She Stoops to Conquer’ by Oliver Goldsmith; ‘Mother’s Milk’ by Edward St Aubyn; ‘The Duchess of Malfi’ by John Webster; ‘Regeneration’ by Pat Barker as well as the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, T S Eliot, Simon Armitage and Wilfred Owen. A strong emphasis is placed on comparative and contextual work.
Experience has shown that pupils who attain grade 7(A) or above in GCSE English do better at A Level.
The A Level specification comprises two essays of coursework (a total of 3000 words for 20% of the mark), as well as two externally set examinations (worth 80% of marks).
