English Literature is the study of poetry, novels and plays of perceived literary merit. The course gives you opportunities to develop analytical and critical thinking skills through close study of a range of texts – poetry, prose and drama – from a range of different periods.
The minimum academic requirement for Sixth Form is six GCSEs at grades 9-5, including at least three grade 6s or equivalent. Students are normally expected to have at least a grade 6 in the subject to be studied to A-level, although specific requirements apply for some subjects.
The A-level will be assessed in the following ways: • A written examination paper of 2 hours 30 minutes on either the comic or the tragic genre in which you will be assessed on the texts you have studied for this unit. • A 3 hour written paper in which you will be assessed on the texts you have studied for the crime writing or political writing unit. • Two coursework assignments in which you apply different literary theories to texts of your own choice.
