We have a well established English Literature course which is taught to groups of up to fifteen students by two teachers per group. 
At AS-level students study a Shakespeare play, an additional drama text, a modern novel and a poetry text. Most students continue with the subject at A2 level, which involves further study of both poetry and drama, together with a coursework component involving the comparison of two texts, usually novels, and a synoptic paper which is currently based on the literature of the First World War. 

In addition to this popular course, we are now launching a combined English Language and Literature course. This course has a literature element, but also gives students the opportunity to continue their language study. 

They have opportunities to develop their writing skills in both fiction and non-fiction contexts any they are given the methodology which enables them to analyse a wide spectrum of different types of language from a variety of angles, developing in the process an understanding of how language changes over time. There has been considerable interest among the students in this course.
