If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades.

Also have lots of sets of our previous KS3 set texts : Private Peaceful, Holes, Skellig, Boy in Striped PJs, War Horse, The Outsiders, Mortal Engines, Lemony Snicket, Treasure Islands, Hunger Games…
