Edusites English News

Thorough preparation of your students for the new linear exams is essential and it will be important to teach the key skills needed to respond to the tasks set in these exam papers.

Edusites have commissioned trial papers, mark schemes and support notes for the four major awarding bodies. These packs have been developed by experienced English assessors with extensive awarding body experience and by people who were very closely involved in the development of these new specifications within the awarding bodies, with Ofqual and the Department of Education.

We hope that combined with our substantial schemes of work these mock exams and marking guidance will help you prepare your students for these vital GCSE external assessments.

All eight of the literature packs listed below are now live on the site for our subscribers to access. The language packs are due to be published towards the end of February/March.
