The English Literature course aims to encourage students to develop their interest in and enjoyment of literature. Students will engage critically and creatively with a substantial and exciting body of texts which includes plays, poetry and prose by influential writers such as Ibsen, Shakespeare, Blake and Scott Fitzgerald. Over the two-year course, students immerse themselves in at least eight challenging texts, of various genres and from different periods, and it is expected that the process results in a deeper understanding of society, of oneself and of the human condition. Students are expected to read widely around the course so as to become more sophisticated, discerning and knowledgeable in their responses to literature. Each year the department runs a number of trips to theatres and lectures and is always looking for opportunities to enrich the students’ cultural and literary experience. As well as studying texts for exams, students will have the opportunity to produce their own creative or analytical coursework based on texts of their choice. Students who enjoy literature and discussion will thrive on this course.
• Achieving at least 5 grade 6’s at GCSE including English and Maths. • Obtaining at least a grade 6 in those subjects students wish to study at A level (or equivalent).
