What the college says

This specification has a distinct philosophy which centres on different ways of reading and on the connections which exist between texts. Study of texts is enhanced by the study of critical theory in the non-exam assessment. In this way, students can gain a solid understanding of how texts can be connected and how they can be interpreted in multiple ways so that students can arrive at their own interpretations and become confident readers. Students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed for both exams and non-exam assessment.
