Throughout the course, you’ll study a variety of engaging topics:

• Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing: You’ll analyse creative texts and be inspired to write your own, developing imagination, expression, and style.

• Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives: You’ll explore how writers convey ideas, opinions, and perspectives, helping you understand the impact of language on society and culture.

• Spoken Language: Through non-examined assessment, you’ll develop confidence in speaking and listening by giving presentations, responding to feedback, asking questions, and using spoken standard English.

You’ll also take part in discussions, debates, and collaborative activities that strengthen your communication and analytical skills.

To enroll on the GCSE+ programme, applicants are expected to have a minimum grade profile of 2/3 in all subjects.

Applicants will need to bring a marked piece of work to the interview.

Entry tests in maths and English (and science if applying to a science subject) are required. The tests are usually held during the taster day.
