English Literature

Entry Requirements

Grades 7-9 in GCSE or IGCSE English Literature are desirable: English Literature involves the study of challenging and exciting literature from Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, Austen and Bronte, to Joyce, Carter and Atwood. It also requires the writing of well-illustrated analytical essays. Academic expectations are high, but it is important to the department that students develop a love of literature that will outlast school. The emphasis is on enjoyment, and success is rarely far behind.
