About the Course
Our English curriculum is academically ambitious and designed to ensure every student develops a deep cultural literacy and the capacity to communicate with kindness, respect, and confidence.
We challenge students to go beyond their own experiences, instilling a love of the rich literary heritage of the English language and grounding them in humanitas—our shared human culture.
In terms of university, many A-level English Literature students go on to study for degrees in History, Politics and Sociology, Journalism, Philosophy and, of course, English.
English forms part of many combined-subject higher education courses and can lead to a wide range of careers for example in the arts, journalism and the media, as well as business, the law and administration.
