Which English specification to choose

We are offering four new GCSE English specifications:

Why choose Edexcel?

  • Flexibility - We have planned the content and structure of our GCSE English and GCSE English Language specifications carefully to allow you to co-teach them and delay the decision about entry until you're sure which is best for your students. The availability of both January and June assessments means you can enter your students for assessment when they are ready - not just at the end of their course.
       
  • Choice - We offer a wider range of texts for GCSE English and GCSE English Language so you can choose what’s most interesting and relevant to you and your students. For GCSE English Literature, you can choose your own texts for Shakespeare and Contemporary Drama to suit both your and your students’ interests.
  • Engage students with poetry of your own choice to sit alongside our Poetry Anthology 
     
  • Pre-released materials available at the start of the year to aid preparation
     
  • New assessment styles – Structured questions and essays in examination
     
  • Unique opportunity to be able to offer your students an additional GCSE with our Digital Communications pilot.
