English Qualifications

Why AQA English?

Every teacher remembers the spark of inspiration that got them into the subject in the first place. But sometimes the pressure to deliver great exam results makes it hard to keep the spark alive. We want to help you inspire the next generation.

That's why we offer a variety of support and resources, including:

  • our AQA English advocates, who have been specially recruited to facilitate free termly discussion groups across our hub school network
  • dedicated resources and subject experts available to support you.
