English is a dynamic and forward-looking subject which enables you to think more deeply about literature and develop highly valued transferable skills, making it a useful springboard to a range of higher education courses or career paths. You should consider English if you enjoy expressing your ideas both in discussion and on paper. English Literature A Level enables you to explore literature more deeply, suiting those with a passion for reading and discovery and providing the freedom to develop independent personal arguments as well as refining communication skills.
You will usually require an 8 in your English Literature and a 7 in your English Language GCSE to study the subject at LHS.
English Literature is assessed in the form of two examinations and one Non-examined Assessment. Combined, the two examinations, Drama and Poetry pre-1900 and Comparative and Contextual Study contribute to 80% of your overall mark, while the Non-examined Assessment is worth 20%. For the latter, you complete two coursework tasks, one comparative essay and one close reading of a short section of text, forming a folder of 3000 words.
