7. International Baccalaureate Diploma
Arthur Terry School is a candidate school for the IB Diploma Programme. We are
pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common
philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that we
believe is important for our students.
Only schools authorised by the International Baccalaureate (IB) as IB World Schools can offer any of
its three academic programmes : the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme
(MYP), or the Diploma Programme. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorisation will be
granted.
The International Baccalaureate programme at Arthur Terry School will ensure

number of students each year will use their A-Levels to get a job. Both courses provide practical knowledge and application of

19. English Language Exam Board: AQA
English Language is the study of language and how it reflects and influences changes
in society. It challenges you to explore how texts are constructed and how language
impacts on communication in its diverse forms. You will study a wide range of topics
and, although it is not primarily a creative writing course, you are given the opportunity
to create and categorise texts. Debate and discussion are as important as grammatical
frameworks in English Language, allowing both analytical and creative students to excel
in this course. Do be aware that English Language is an academic and demanding
A Level that relies upon detailed analysis and research of language issues, and is
unlike anything students will have experienced at GCSE level. The study of the English

20. English Literature Exam Board: AQA
As you will already know, English Literature comprises Drama, Poetry and the Novel –
and also a good helping of Shakespeare. We study any literature for pleasure, but also
to widen our emotional sympathies by entering into the lives of other people. As we read
we are forced to take sides and pass moral judgement, as supposedly real characters
grapple with the most important issues of life. Moreover, the chief new requirement of
English Literature is that we study ‘Literature in History’. A level Literature requires us to
see how writers are using their work to bring out the crucial issues of their own day and
their own lives e.g. the role of women, love and marriage, the plight of the poor, death,
slavery and so on. This is literature in History, or, as the specification says, ‘Texts in
Context’.
