I'm going to make one of these for every act of Macbeth if Y11 find this one useful tomorrow - but feel free to use this Act Three timeline if helpful

💻 @ocrexams said it carried out a 'detailed analysis' during the marking process of its GCSE computer science paper 2

It found the exam was 'slightly more difficult' and 'set grade boundaries accordingly'

5 additional takeaways from the exams this year as I definitely still agree with my original ten!

1. Drop quotations used accurately help student reach top band marks. The “judicious” in the mark scheme can be difficult to reach if only one…

@LauraLolder @Team_English1 Thank you for these - they look great!

Last chance to get year 11 ready for that all-important #AQAEnglishLit exam tomorrow. I’ve shared ideas about the set texts before, but what about unseen poetry?
Never fear, gentle reader.

Could you spare your time to become an invigilator during the exam season this year?

We are looking for new staff to have a key role in upholding the integrity and security of the examination/assessment process whilst conducting examinations at Redmoor Academy.
