Studying A Level English Literature at QE is a rewarding experience. You will see yourself become academically enriched over the two years with us as well as learning more about yourself and the world around you. All the texts we study allow you to explore issues which affect us in everyday life from the political choices we make to whether there is any such thing as true love. You will be expected to engage in discussion and debate but this will take place in a supportive and nurturing environment.
