Stories are at the heart and soul of society. Through literature, we learn how to make society more equitable, fair and just. A Level English Literature will develop your interest in, and enjoyment of literary study through reading texts critically and analytically. The study of English literature will offer you the opportunity to develop your essay and argument writing skills. You will build on your ability to debate with others logically and eloquently, as well as learn how to work through the intricacies of texts independently and with others. If you enjoy reading, watching plays or films which seek to change a person’s world view, or love to explore poetry, this subject will further expand your skillset. You will become conversant with seeing the world through different critical viewpoints and understand the craft of the writer.
You should have GCSE English Literature and English Language at Grade 5 or above. For any English A Level, a love of writing and a commitment to undertaking extensive, independent and challenging reading is imperative. Students are required to meet the General Entry Requirement of a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 6 with at least GCSE grade 4 in English Language and Maths.
