What the college says

Over the centuries, the most accurate measure of the country's changing views, obsessions and philosophies can be seen in the texts written by its citizens. You will be expected to read widely, including literary criticism, and write essays of course. Most importantly, you will need to participate in discussion to formulate your own educated and persuasive viewpoint as to the best way to interpret the texts studied. If you have an enthusiasm for language and a love of reading, then this might be the course for you. We offer a team of highly experienced A Level teachers, who will share with you their passion for Literature whilst helping you to develop and express your own views effectively
