GCSE English – The main
messages:
• This specification is brand new. Our Year Eleven pupils are the first to sit these
examinations.
• There is no written coursework. 80% of the qualification comes from two untiered
examinations at the end of the year; 20% is based on two recorded Speaking and
Listening tasks.
• There are two examinations at the end of the course both 2 hours long.
• Both are heavily reliant on non fiction reading and writing.
• It is a more robust test of English skills; pupils cannot leave everything till the last
minute. They have to be focused right the way through this year in order to build
skills progressively.
• We are all in this together!
