The English Language GCSE focuses on developing fluency in reading and writing, while the Literature GCSE encourages critical engagement with a variety of texts. Each course consists of two equally weighted papers, with the Language course including a non-exam assessed speech component. I emphasize the importance of these skills for a range of career pathways, from law to media. I encourage all students to engage deeply with the material to excel in both subjects.
