What the college says

This is a great all-round course for creative writers and readers interested in exploring a wide range of literary and non-literary styles. You will study a diverse range of material: from famous speeches to film scripts and travelogues, to Shakespeare and traditional prose. You will read classics alongside a much broader variety of English texts, from genre features to language features, text structure to audience appeal – all with a view to perfecting your analytical skills and developing your own unique writing style. The Edexcel Anthology (provided with the course) includes a variety of texts with a particular emphasis on non-fiction and media extracts; there is something for everyone to enjoy! In Year 13 you will study 2 texts of your own choice in depth and will showcase your creative writing skills in a range of writing styles – something any budding novelist or journalist will relish.
