English Language and Literature

course information

All pupils will study the GCSE English Language course. The grade achieved will provide evidence of the quality of a pupil’s literacy skills.

There are three assessments:

· Unit 1: Oracy (Speaking and Listening)

· Unit 2 and Unit 3:  Reading and Writing.

Entry Level English is also available to a small number of pupils.

The majority of pupils will study the GCSE English Literature course and this depends on your set in English. The pupils will study a variety of contemporary and heritage literature (plays, novels and poetry) from different cultures.
