We will be exploring the recent Curriculum and Assessment Review, including:
GCSE English Language – a renewed focus on subject discipline and purpose, with a broader range of text types.
GCSE English Literature – a commitment to more diverse and representative texts and authors.
Clear progression – guidance on smooth sequencing across all key stages.
English as a distinct subject and how it relates to literacy and oracy frameworks.
Post-GCSE pathways – strategies to support more students continuing with English at A-level.

Plus a live Q&A session, where you can put your questions directly to the panel.
