English – Language
A Level English provides pupils with the opportunity to study the English language and its use in contemporary communication in the 21st Century. Pupils are encouraged to respond critically to a range of texts in various forms, styles, and contexts, while further developing communication, reading, research and analytical skills. Diverse writing styles are studied and practiced and pupils should, ultimately, be able to write clearly, effectively, and accurately in academic, personal, and creative contexts.
A Level English is recommended for all RBIS pupils who wish to study abroad or to study at an international university, and perfectly compliments both science and arts related A Levels.
