Summary
GCSE English Literature is a part time course which lasts for one year and is designed for students aged over 19. We offer the course as a 3-hour session per week in the evening. As part of this course students will study a variety of different texts but the main ones will be: An Inspector Calls by J B Priestley; Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson; Macbeth by William Shakespeare; and a Poetry Anthology from the exam board, AQA, with a focus on the Love and Relationships cluster of poems.
This course will help students to understand and appreciate the written word and the power they can hold years after they have been written as well as sharpening analytical skills, looking at themes, ideas, patterns as well as helping to place texts within history, culture, philosophy and human nature.
