The AQA specification focuses on different ways of reading and the connections that exist between texts within a literary genre. In this way, students can gain a solid understanding of how texts can be connected and how they can be interpreted in multiple ways. The course will allow them to develop their interpretations and become confident autonomous readers. We are currently offering the linear A-Level English Literature B course. In the first year, students focus on aspects of tragedy within three texts: • Othello • Tess of the D'Urbervilles • Death of a Salesman In the second year, students will explore the elements of crime writing in three texts: • Brighton Rock Atonement • The Rime of the Ancient Mariner • In addition, students produce two pieces of coursework, each responding to a text of their choice from a critical perspective.
● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.
