The A Level course aims to encourage and develop students’ interest in English Literature, giving them a wide and varied literary experience, covering a range of poetry, drama and prose texts from Chaucer through to modern day writers. The course will require students to compare texts at certain points of the course and, in Year 13 write an extended coursework essay on 2 texts. Students should find that the course enables them to build on the skills they have developed at GCSE, although the standard will be rather more sophisticated.
As a general rule students will require a minimum grade B in both English Language and English Literature to follow the full A2 course. However, in certain circumstances, a good C grade will be considered acceptable, especially for the AS course only. As examinations can be taken on a modular basis, students will have the ability to assess their performance after the first year and make decisions based on results. Most students, however, opt to continue with the subject into A2
