Languages are the way we communicate globally. Whether it’s looking at the structure of the English language or analysing literary works in depth, the possibilities to explore are endless. Studying English at A Level is a whole new approach compared to studying English at GCSE. By choosing to study Language, Literature or Language/Literature combined, you have the ability to hone your skills and specialise your understanding.
Learning foreign languages are one of the most vital strengths when working or travelling. When studying Spanish you have the ability to develop your speaking, listening and written skills further, as well as your knowledge of Spanish society and culture.
The skills you learn and refine within this department can truly set you apart from others.
