This collection includes: five full Paper 2s in both PDF and Word format, allowing you to tailor questions or format to your taste (including two additional papers that are listed as free on this page - ‘Teaching’ and ‘Refuse Collectors’) a front sheet for use with the papers, featuring the relevant boundaries from summer 2017 and 2018 (allowing students to see how close they were to the next band). an easy examiner mark sheet for each question, based on my experience of the drag and drop screen when marking as an examiner. Simply use a highlighter to indicate where skills have been met and staple or glue to students’ papers. These are useful feedback sheets for day-to-day exam practice. If you have found these resources useful, please leave feedback.

Here are 15 AQA Paper 1 (narrate or describe) style writing assessments that are suitable for both KS3 and KS4.

I’m a big fan of Charlotte Bronte so this is one of my favourite Paper 2s; via her diary we learn about her hatred for teaching (we’ve all been there, Charlotte). It contrasts with a piece from The Guardian about a student teacher full of enthusiasm for teaching. I’ve included the Word and PDF document so you can tinker with it if you want to, and I’ve put the GCSE boundaries for 2017 and 2018 on the front so that students can see how far away they were from the next grade. Please have a look at my paid resources. The ‘Easy GCSE Mark Scheme’ works very well with this for quick and efficient marking.
