Fed up of trying to get your head around the AQA mark scheme? Are you finding it impossible to convey the many features of a perfect response to your students? These marking grids will help you to understand the mark scheme and see it the different aspects of each question clearly, as well as enabling you to mark quickly and effectively. Oftsed saw these grids in action in my school and loved them as they show clear pathways to progression The teachers in my department love them as they are quick and easy to use Students appreciate them as they can identify the root of underattainment. Can be used to offer whole class or individual feedback. All you have need is a highlighter - simply highlight along the boxes to indicate the skills achieved and the levels attained. Marking GCSE repsonses will never be difficult again!

Fun assembly for Y6, KS3 and KS4 that promotes reading through a nostalgic visit to the books students enjoyed when they were younger. Simply print off the final three slides to use as Phone a Friend, Ask the Audience and 50/50 prompts and set up the data projector and you’re away! I recommend surprising a fellow colleague by asking them to come up to the front during assembly and try to win a million pounds; the students will be itching to tell them the answers! Sound is enabled.

A series of lessons based on the Brighton Rock Specimen Assessment Materials from AQA. The student booklet should be used with the Powerpoint lessons, which explains how to attain a Grade 4 and beyond, good examples of student work and clear explanations of the components required in student responses to each question. Very useful as an introduction to the Paper 1 or as a revision unit. Includes words of the day and recall questions. Videos of me teaching these lessons can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9q_xc22DRvPTEY3sGyH8ug
