The A level English Literature course (Specification B) is an exciting course that explores the impact of a range of English literary works over time. If you are an enthusiastic, independent reader who enjoys reading a wide range of literature and discussing it, then English Literature is an ideal course for you. As well as studying poetry, prose and drama written from the late 1500s to post 2000, it will develop your ability to think critically and express your arguments in well-structured, analytical essays.
You will require a Grade 5 of higher in GCSE English Literature and English Language. It is vital that you enjoy reading regularly in your own time. You will also be given preparatory reading and tasks for the course when you sign up.
In Year 12 level students will sit internal examinations - one of which will be closed book. In Year 13 students complete two external examinations, one of which is closed book. Students will also independently produce two critical essays of between 1250 – 1500 words, to be assessed internally.
