What will I learn?

In English Literature our students will have the opportunity to study a range of literary texts. They will initially study John Steinbeck’s classic novella Of Mice and Men and a range of unseen prose texts taken from the nineteenth century. Following this, they will explore a range of poetry collated under the theme of relationships. In Year 12, they will study the Shakespeare play Macbeth and J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls to complete this course.
