The study of Literature is a study of human experience and social influences over the years. You will engage with a range of wonderful texts and develop a passion for them. Many of the skills developed through studying this subject are related to independent thinking — the ability to analyse sophisticated ideas and the ways in which they are presented, to synthesise large and complex texts, and to know how to build a convincing argument are just a few. English Literature develops skills in research, communication and interpretation that enhance and enrich the study of other subjects across humanities and STEM. These skills are highly valued by universities and future employers with a wide variety of career options available: Media, Television and Broadcasting, Journalism, Law, Politics, Marketing, Publishing, Teaching and Civil Service.
Grade 6 English Literature and Grade 6 English Language
Year 12: Students will study the literature of love through the ages in Year 12; texts will comprise W. Shakespeare's Othello, Wuthering Heights by E. Bronte and a poetry anthology. Assessment will take place at the end of Year 13 in an examination worth 40%. Year 13: Students will study texts in shared contexts in Year 13 and will focus on the topic of WW1 and its aftermath. They will study three texts: one prose, one poetry and one drama on this theme. At the end of the course they will sit an examination worth 40%. In addition, students will undertake a non-exam assessment where they will provide comparative critical study of two texts, at least one of which must have been written pre-1900. This is worth 20% of the A level and is an opportunity for students to explore an area of precise interest to them.
