Course summary

At Key Stage 5 the disciplines of Language and Literature are studied separately to enable a deeper study of each. Literature at A’ Level follows a historicist approach that considers the depiction of love through the ages and literature since 1945. Language at A’ Level considers language in the world around us which includes reading texts for meaning, the impact of accent and class, the place of English in the world, how children acquire language and how language has evolved into the entity it currently is. The study of English opens a world of possibilities. For us, each strand of English supports the individual in better understanding the world around them and allows them to develop the confidence and skills needed to respond to it.
