Level One English Literature
All English courses are designed to support our students as they develop their skills and knowledge. We believe that developing confidence in themselves and their use of language is essential for our students’ success. In our courses, students will engage in a range of tasks and texts that have been chosen to help them think creatively and critically. In doing so, we will help them understand more about themselves and their place in the world. We aim to make learning relevant, responsive, challenging, inclusive and fun.
Students will:
Be offered a rich study of literature and language through close study of novel and/or short stories and poetry.
Focus on achievement with excellence in a wide range of disciplines and prepare to achieve Excellence at Level Two.
Develop critical thinking skills and learn to apply these to unfamiliar contexts.
Become familiar with the conventions of a genre and show a developed understanding of the link between genre and society.
