English Language & Literature

UPDATED 20161012 09:52:12

An A Level in English opens doors everywhere. Students who can think deeply, analyse ideas, see both sides of an argument, express themselves cogently and persuasively, as well as having a world picture that only comes from reading widely, are welcome in any profession. We want to help you to develop your skills and be challenged by your studies. We also understand that your results are very important; this is what enables you to move on to the next step of your education. The figures speak for themselves: at ‘A’ level there has been a 100% pass rate for many years. Our Language and Literature course is an increasingly popular ‘A’ level choice at Diss High School. This is not a creative writing course although there are opportunities to undertake textual recasting and recreative tasks. Over the years, this course has been chosen by students who have combined it with ‘A’ levels in both the Arts and Sciences. In recent years our students have planned careers in journalism, the media and teaching. This is a demanding course in terms of time and intellect. Any student wishing to study an English course must be willing to read texts independently and be prepared to participate in discussion. The ability to write accurately and analytically is essential.
