GCSE English: More ways to succeed

From our research, we know that students often fail to achieve in GCSE English because they’re not motivated by the content of the course or how it’s assessed. As the only awarding body to have run a recent GCSE English pilot, we’ve had the opportunity to trial new teaching and assessment methods, structures and content. Our new specifications incorporate all the elements that worked best, to give your students the best chance of success.
