The course provides students with an introduction to the traditions of English Literature, enables them to express responses effectively through speech and writing, develops an awareness of the context in which texts are written, and considers other readers’ interpretations of texts. Student requirements A-level students of English Literature are encouraged to: • Read widely • Venture and discuss points of view, and respond to and respect the opinions of others • Write analytically and critically, developing a full personal response to previously unseen poems, as well as to set texts • Study eight set texts in depth and study others as part of their wider reading • Write about texts in the light of social, cultural and historical contexts in which they are written • Form their own opinions of texts, taking due consideration of interpretations of others and considering how interpretations change over time
At least eight GCSEs or IGCSEs graded at 7 or above for entry to our sixth form in the subjects that you are taught at school.
