GCSE

In this course, KS3 students enhance their knowledge by revising five GCSE sub-topics, allowing them to construct paragraphs composed of connected sentences with well-developed opinions and justifications. The grammatical emphasis is on correctly using the three primary tenses (present, past, future) of commonly used verbs. Students will also utilize a broader range of subject pronouns. Lessons offer diverse opportunities for students to develop and apply their language skills in listening, reading, speaking, writing, and translating.

Throughout the lessons, students will have the chance to work collaboratively in groups or independently, focusing on specific GCSE exam skills.
