What the college says

English Language and Literature is a very popular A-Level subject nationally, and with good reason, as students already possess key skills and an interest in the subject from Key 3 and GCSE studies, but it also offers something significantly different from the A-Level Literature course. English Language and Literature at A-Level integrates literary and linguistic study, encouraging students to engage creatively and critically with a wide range of texts, considering the way language choices create representations but also encouraging your skills as a producer and interpreter of language. Words create worlds, both in literature and beyond, and this subject offers the opportunity to explore this in depth.
