English Literature’s historicist approach to the study of literature rests upon reading texts within a shared context. Working from the belief that no text exists in isolation but is the product of the time in which it was produced, English Literature encourages students to explore the relationships that exist between texts and the contexts within which they are written, received and understood. Studying texts within a shared context enables students to investigate and connect them, drawing out patterns of similarity and difference using a variety of reading strategies and perspectives. English Literature encourages students to debate and challenge the interpretations of other readers as they develop their own informed personal responses.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including English Language or Mathematics are required to study vocational subject. Requirements are higher for A Levels and subject specific grades apply for some subjects. Entry criteria will be discussed in more detail during your Sixth Form interview.
