What the college says

The Key Stage 5 curriculum in English aims to strengthen and diversify the skills mastered in GCSE English Language and Literature and offers students a chance to become an expert in a specific field of communication. Our curriculum includes: literature, language, language & literature and media. All these qualifications develop skills universally desirable at degree level study and those with communication courses are often more fully prepared for the academic assessment faced at this level. These courses also offer direct and varied access to more vocational pathways.
