What the college says

English Literature is more than just the study of poems, plays and novels. Through close reading and the appreciation of these texts, English Literature A Level allows pupils to explore and understand different places, people and periods in history. Pupils come to appreciate more about humanity, discovering how writers use literature to reflect and present their views on life, both personal, political and cultural. In English Literature lessons, pupils will be challenged to further the skills they developed at GCSE. They will continuously extend their literary evaluation skills through group discussion, annotation, independent analysis, and extended writing. By the end of their two years of study, English Literature pupils leave Year 13 confident critical readers, able to express themselves thoughtfully, creatively and with clarity; skills that are essential for their future.
