What the college says

This A level in English Literature aims to encourage students to develop their interest in and enjoyment of literature and literary studies. They are expected to read widely and independently - not just the set texts, but also others that they have selected for themselves. They should engage with a substantial body of texts and different ways of responding to them. Students will develop and apply their knowledge of literary analysis and evaluation; as well as exploring the contexts of the texts they are reading and others' interpretations of them.

What you need to get on

A minimum of five passes at grade 5 or higher at GCSE, three of which must be a grade 6 or higher. Within these passes there must be a grade 5 or higher in Maths and either a 6 in English Language and English Literature, or an average of 6 across both subjects.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
