18 GCSE English 2015 Onwards Studies also show that reading a variety of literature independently by the age of 15 is the single biggest indicator of future success. In the English Literature examination the students WILL NOT have copies of the texts with them. They need to learn quotations and know the texts well enough to answer any question without relying on the text itself.

19 GCSE English 2015 Onwards Key Changes The new English GCSE is a linear course; there are no coursework modules. There are no tiers. Every student will be entered for the same examination.

Meet the employer and leave page 1 of the form with them. Return page 2 complete on both sides to Mrs Ferneyhough or Miss Webb.
