Evening, all. If your child has to retake their GCSE English Language exam in November, and if you are looking for some extra help, feel free to message me and I can see if I can help. But remember to ask their school to get copies of their exam paper. There is usually a cost involved for that service, but it really is worth it to see what the strengths and areas for development are.

Good luck to all those getting their GCSE results tomorrow. Sadly, it looks like the grades are going to be lower than the last few years and this will mean that there will be some who will not get the required Grade 4 for English and Maths. If this happens tomorrow, it is vital that you request copies of your child's exams. This will allow them to see where they went wrong in order to rectify this before the retakes in November.
