English in Action

Programme

We are delighted to be partnering with Education in Action to host a series of subject-focused academic events on campus during 2026/27 for GCSE, A level, IB and BTEC students. 

This inspirational and popular study day is coming to the Midlands this autumn, to take place in the beautiful Elgar Concert Hall at the University of Birmingham. This event will provide fascinating insights, comprehensive support and new perspectives for all A-level English Literature students, with a particular focus on Shakespeare’s Othello and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. The day will explore a close analysis of these works, including their broader context as well as a fascinating look at how Shakespeare’s plays were brought to the stage. The programme will include clear links to support Assessment Objectives 1-5 for all exam boards and there will be an additional exam session, together with an unmissable presentation from a leading poet.

This inspiring and interactive event promises to give students the vital information, expert insights and new-found confidence to propel them to maximum examination success this year. Book now to secure your places!
