Our main aim is to encourage and recognise each individual’s ability to delve deeply into novels, plays and poems. A Level English Literature students will engage in active debate about the texts’ literary, historical, philosophical or theatrical significance through a consideration of different critical perspectives and possible layers of meaning. Students are encouraged to enact the texts in class and to produce presentations for their peers. We encourage each class member to read widely so that they can express and develop creative and independent opinions about the texts they are studying and the ‘unseen’ material they encounter. Reading a wide range of imaginative works enables students to gain skills and aptitudes which can be transferred to a vast range of future employment contexts and will help them to reflect on their life experiences.
must have at least a grade 7 in the relevant GCSE subject English Literature A Level demands analytical and essay-writing skills. Students will learn to read with understanding and a feeling for style, tone and purpose. They will also become experienced in arguing a case clearly and concisely. Our course provides a base from which pupils could take their study of literature further, but the skills and the qualification gained will be of value whatever subsequent course a student follows. Top universities consider English Literature an academically rigorous facilitating subject as it demonstrates excellent communication skills and the development of critical and analytical thought. Essentially, we hope to promote enjoyment of ground-breaking literature. The study of English Literature in the Fourth and Fifth Years provides a sound basis for A Level. Above all, it is vital that students who wish to take the subject enjoy reading
Students will study a range of prose, poetry and drama texts in depth, including at least one of Shakespeare’s plays and a post-2000 work. They will also respond to ‘unseen’ material and will be asked to make connections between texts. Students can bring most of their texts into the examinations.
