The A level specification grows naturally from the GCSE courses in English Language and English Literature. Its aim is to encourage an enjoyment and appreciation of literature, based on an informed and confident personal response. You will study texts of different types and periods and evaluate ways in which writers choose form, structure and language to express meanings. An understanding of the contexts in which literary works are written will open up many areas of interest and you will be able to explore not only your own, but also other readers’ interpretations of text. The desire to offer your own informed opinions and judgements about what you read is vital at this level.
