What are lessons like in this subject?
This course is the perfect A-level for anyone who loves reading great works and writing original material. We cover a wide variety of texts, from classic literature such as Wuthering Heights to modern editorial articles and political speeches. In lessons, you can expect us to engage in detailed analysis, exciting discussions and independent research.
The course also offers more opportunity for original writing than any of our other English A-levels. Coursework involves creating two pieces of original writing, one fiction and the other non-fiction, giving you the chance to broaden your reading and develop your creative writing skills. The majority of students choose to go on to university and we have some excellent links with a range of HE institutions who can offer our students subject specific seminars and taster sessions. We also offer the chance to visit Howarth to help students immerse themselves in the world of Emily Bronte虉.
What will I study?

What our
students
With the English Language and Literature course I loved how wide it included a variety of different texts from a range of different time periods and comparing one text to another was an element I particularly loved. Personally, I never had a preference over one or the other and enjoyed both equally so getting to study them on the same course made it ideal for me.
