What the college says

This course is for students who want to continue studying English after GCSE and aims to extend students' knowledge and understaning of literary texts from a range of periods and genres and to develop a critical approach to the different techniques used by writers. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones in much greater depth. It's a good combination with most other subjects you can study at A level.

5 GCSEs at grade 4+ and a grade 5 or above in GCSE English.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
