Introduction
The Language and Literature course will comprise the reading and analysis of literary and non-fiction written and spoken texts. Students will study all three literary genres (drama, prose and poetry), and an anthology of historical and contemporary non-fiction and extended non-fiction. They will be expected to engage in written and spoken tasks designed to improve their ability to respond in a structured, logical and thoughtful manner and to become confident readers and producers of texts.
GCSE grade 5 in English or English Literature is required.
We have included curriculum overviews as well as exam information to support students and parents/carers to have a better and broader understanding of how learning develops in each year group.
