Both Depth studies from OCR course are included in this bundle which is why it is a bit more expensive than my normal rebellions lessons. Each mini unit is stretched over 12 hours of lessons plus hwk. Last few years’ results since COVID have been excellent- average student marks on Interps questions 21.8/30 (mixed ability comprehensive) and thematic qs 18.2/25 so I know these lessons work well.
