English Literature

Assessment

We study the Edexcel specification which offers a range of enjoyable and stimulating texts. In Year 12 you will study two prose texts, a modern drama and one selection of modern poetry. In Year 13 we add one Shakespeare play and a further collection of poetry. You will also complete a coursework essay in which you compare an aspect of two texts of your choosing. This is where you can follow your interests, stretch yourself, and prepare yourself for the rigours of independent, university-level study.
