😅 GCSE English Parent Reality Check… Just for fun!
Finish this sentence: “My teenager would rather __________ than revise English.” I’ll start… “My teenager would rather clean their room for the first time in 6 months than practise a Macbeth essay.” 😂 Parents… your turn 👇 (Students, you can defend yourselves in the comments 😆) P.S. Making English enjoyable is one of the biggest barriers. When students understand HOW to approach English, confidence usually follows.

My teenager would rather admit his sister is better at English than revise English!!
Now that the English Literature Paper 1 exam is over. How is everyone feeling?
Parents and students, we’d love to hear your thoughts! 👇 Tell us: ✅ What did you or your child find quite straightforward? 😬 What did they find challenging? 📝 Was there anything that surpised them? 💡 Is there anything they now wish they had revised more? And looking ahead to Paper 2 Literature next week (19th May)… ❓What support or advice would help your child most right now? Would they benefit from: • Poetry revision tips? • Retrieval practice ideas? • Essay structure reminders? • Help with timing? • Context refreshers? Let’s help each other and keep supporting our teenagers through these final few weeks 💛 Even if your child found the exam difficult, remember: ✨ One paper does NOT define them. ✨ There is still so much they can achieve next week. Drop your thoughts below 👇

Harley has booked for Tuesday and Sunday as he’s just doing Language. Does he need to pre-book the Tuesday?

Anyone reading this: I’ve signed up. My son is WJEC English Language. Not the “exact” syllabus as what’s been taught but close enough to give him what he needs. It’s all in the exam preparation. It’s rinse repeat, rinse repeat at this level!
