ENGLISH A-LEVELS

English is considered a facilitating subject by universities because it teaches you critical thinking skills as well as giving you the opportunity to be creative. It trains you how to write analytically and in an evaluative manner. It links brilliantly with many other subjects such as history, drama, classics and art. It is also really enjoyable as it gives you the chance to read a diverse array of literature including prose, poetry and drama from a range of eras and in a plethora of genres.

At Queens' we offer two different A-Levels:

• English Literature - AQA Specification B
• English Language and Literature - EDUQAS

If you are interested in finding out more about these A-Levels then please speak to Miss Wood. Alternatively, have a look through our induction booklets, which will give you a flavour of the kind of exciting topics and texts that you would be studying. They include a range of activities including links to podcasts, activities, audio stories and online texts.
