Controlled Assessment based on a Shakespeare play compared with poetry or a novel. 2 Creative writing Controlled Assessments. In addition, students will complete 3 S&L assessments which are now not part of their GCSE but for which they will receive a numerical level alongside their GCSE result.

Maximum time limits are specified by the exam board. Exam conditions apply. There are separate marks available for spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and vocabulary skills

9 Controlled Assessment There are separate marks available for spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and vocabulary skills Pupils are given a specific planning session, and a sheet, which they can refer to throughout. Pupils cannot resit the same task, and will have to complete it in their own time, outside of English lessons. (Unless the pupil has specific access requirements.) Pupils will sit them over the course of several English lessons. The government now insists that all parts of the course are entered at the end. i.e. June 2014.

10 What Examiners Want Evidence that the text is understood. Use of relevant quotations from the text. Analysis of language features. Comments on the effect of language. An understanding of the differences between text types and the attitude of the writer Writing that is clear, coherent and lively Following the instructions and completing the task set.

11 What Teachers Want Students need to be extremely focused and complete all CA to the best of their ability. Excellent attendance makes a huge difference. Learning the tricks of the exam the rubric and applying them in their mocks will help their exam technique. Completing homework will be a big drive this year. Students will be asked to complete 2 pieces of homework a week for English.

12 How to Support your Child Please ensure they attend all after school/ weekend and holiday sessions to which they are invited. It can be helpful for students to have their own copies of the texts studied so that they can annotate. They will not be able to take school copies home as they are needed by Year 11 students. Encourage them to complete all homework and DIRT tasks after marking. READING as much as possible is always the greatest support in English good non-fiction is also essential to prepare them for their exam in Year 11. Writing letters is becoming a lost art form the understanding of this format is essential.
