Level 3 English

This course has a focus on text analysis and is for students who are likely to progress to tertiary level. It is a highly academic subject that, as well as giving students the tools to function and excel in society, aspires to a “critical awareness”; meaning rather than just having the skills to “get by” in life, students gain the skills to question the world around them, engage with the psychology of the human condition, and play a part in shaping the world. 

There is an expectation that students will be able to read and watch a small number of texts outside of the classroom in order to effectively utilise time for learning within school. 

English is an optional subject at Year 13, but is highly recommended. 

The Head of Department has final discretion over suitability for student placement in this course.

Maximum credits available: 21 (17 internal & 4 external)
