Y10 English set texts and revision guides
Here is a list of set texts and revision guides that Year 10 pupils will require for English Literature.
Your child has recently started studying ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ by Robert Louis Stevenson in preparation for their GCSE English Literature studies. To support this, we recommend purchasing a copy of the novella for your child. Owning their own copy is invaluable, as it allows pupils to make notes directly in the text, use Post-Its, and highlight key quotations.
Alternatively, you may find past pupils reselling their resources on social media platforms, or you can explore editions with alternative layouts, such as those offering space for annotations or larger text. Please choose a version that best suits your child’s needs.
If possible, we kindly ask that you purchase this text, along with the additional set texts required for the course. The ISBN numbers and approximate costs have been provided for your reference below.
If your child is eligible for Pupil Premium, they will have copies provided for them.
Thank you for your support.

Lever arch folder
Our pupils benefit greatly from owning their own folder. A dedicated folder is essential for keeping multiple revision guides, study books, and other resources in one place, supporting both their organisation and academic success. We strongly encourage you to consider purchasing a lever arch folder for your child. This will help them categorise the two subjects they will study (Language and Literature), ensure quick access to organised materials, and minimise the risk of losing or damaging key resources.
