The study of A Level English Language and Literature will focus on reading and analysing texts within a shared context. You will be encouraged to explore the relationships between various texts and the specific contexts within which they are written, received and understood. Studying these poetry, prose and drama works enables you to investigate and connect them, drawing out patterns of similarity and difference using a variety of reading strategies and perspectives.
We ask for an average GCSE point score of 5 or above (based on 8 or more GCSEs) to study an A Level programme*. This will include a 5 or above in English Language and Maths. If you have a GCSE point score between 4.75 and 5 you can access certain A Level subjects. We are confident that we have a range of A Level courses that will get you to university. We will discuss entry requirements with you at interview so please come and talk to us! Your average GCSE score will include the Grades for all your GCSE subjects, added together, then divided by the number of subjects you’ve taken. GCSE Grade 5 or above in English Language and Literature.
The subject is assessed by two exams at the end of Year 13 (80%) as well as one piece of creative writing which is marked internally (20%).
