What the college says

In the English department we inspire and support all pupils to develop their skills in speaking and listening, reading and writing in order to become confident, articulate, reflective and imaginative young citizens. The English Literature A-Level is a two-year course that appeals to students who love literature and want to read and explore texts in a more detailed way.

Students will study the conventions of either tragedy or comedy, beginning with Marlowe and further dramatic and fictional texts.
