Success in GCSE English Language and Literature has shifted away from simple “point-evidence-explain” structures. Top-tier marks now require conceptualized responses, perceptive structural analysis, and a sophisticated grasp of authorial intent. Our 10-day program transforms students from passive readers into critical analysts.
Each session utilizes a university-style seminar approach:
Linguistic Reteach: A masterclass in high-level terminology, focusing on advanced devices such as lithotes, anaphora, and structural dissonance.
The Critical Walkthrough: Deconstructing examiners’ “level 4” exemplars to identify the specific markers of a Grade 9 response.
Synthesis Task (Homework): Daily creative or analytical prompts designed to refine the student’s academic “voice” and lexical range.


Our English Language and English Literature specialist Lenisha will be leading the course.
