English Language and Literature

Course summary

English Language and Literature enables you to experience the best of both worlds in the study of English. While reading and analysing great literature, such as The Great Gatsby and Frankenstein, you will also have the opportunity to work on your re-creative writing. While developing these analytical and creative skills, you will also gain an insight into the world of linguistic study. By exploring a range of modes of texts, you will become an expert in tackling linguistic theory and applying it to your analysis. The department organises Theatre Trips, British Library Workshops and an A Level Conference trip is arranged across the two years. There is also an opportunity to write for the Sixth Form Reviewer.
