Breakdown and our plan for your child
Through a dynamic teaching approach, we cover the English Language qualification wholistically, from fictional studies in paper one to paper two non-fiction, ensuring assured development in all components of each paper: reading and writing. We balance this approach through a termly focus on each paper. Term one focuses on the paper one component, with term two focusing on paper two; thus, leading to term three which balances the teaching of both papers with the perfecting of exam methodology and revision
