This is an academic, stimulating and challenging course, and it is also hugely enjoyable. How has our culture been defined by what came before it? What do the greatest writers say about the biggest challenges of life? This subject gives you the chance to create your own arguments and express your own voice like few others. Fiction exists so that we can learn more about reality.
Five Grades 9-5 at GCSE and English Grade 6
Paper One is studied in Year 12 and is called ‘Love Through the Ages’. We study a range of texts through time, unified by their exploration of the theme of love. The texts will include a Shakespeare play – currently Othello – a wide range of love poetry and prose texts which explore love. Paper Two – Texts in Shared Contexts – is studied in Year 13 This component will involve the study of prose, poetry and a drama text. As students study these texts they will engage with some of the social, cultural, political and personal issues that have shaped the lives of those living in the latter part of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century. Across both years, students will research and write an academic comparison of two texts, creating an essay of around 2500 words. Students are able to choose these texts and the direction of their argument.
