This course is not designed with one specific examination board in mind but will use assessment criteria to develop activities to support your pupils in providing high quality written responses that meet the level descriptors for GCSE.

Drawing on a wide range of written responses from across schools you will be able to review how pupils have moved from one grade to another and to work with colleagues to use classroom practice to support your own classes. With clear references to AO1 and AO2 this course will also draw on the link oracy has to improve GSCE responses and how this can be developed over the two years of a GCSE course.

Benefits of attending for the delegate and school:

• Develop a clearer understanding of what a high quality response looks like at GCSE
• Strengthen the quality and depth of written responses in examination answers
• Help teachers plan more effectively for improvement in written responses
• To support teachers of GCSE RE (including ECTs and TWOs) in supporting pupil learning
