The Course Key Stage 3 Key Stage 4 During the GCSE course students continue to be taught in mixed ability groups rather than sets. They study for two separate GCSEs, following the AQA specification courses for English Language and English Literature GCSEs. In the course of Years 10 and 11, students produce one Literature controlled assessment linking a Shakespeare play to a prose text from before 1914 and a further Language piece on the novel they are preparing for their Literature exam. They also produce creative writing and a study of spoken language; and they are assessed on their speaking and listening skills in a variety of activities.For their final exams, students sit two papers to complete their English Literature GCSE and one paper to complete their English Language GCSE. They study a range of poetry for Literature, a modern novel or drama and explore texts for different cultures. They are also assessed on their ability to read and analyse previously unseen non-fiction and media texts in English Language, with a section which also tests their writing skills.
