The Fundamentals of English Programme is designed for Year 10 and Year 11 students who want to build a strong foundation in GCSE English. Whether your child is aiming to improve from a Level 4 to a 6, or pushing from a 7 towards an 8 or 9, the programme is tailored to support students at different starting points.

Yes — the programme is primarily designed around the AQA specification for both English Language and English Literature. If your child sits a different examination board, please get in touch and we can discuss how the programme content may still apply.

Absolutely. Every student begins with an initial assessment so we understand exactly where they are and what they need to focus on. The programme is then tailored around those individual needs, meaning no two students follow an identical path through the nine months.

The programme covers all five AQA Literature texts, as well as the full range of English Language reading and writing skills — including analytical writing, creative writing, descriptive writing, transactional writing, persuasive writing, and unseen poetry and prose. Exam technique, essay structure, and revision strategies are woven throughout.

This programme is built around a structured, progressive methodology — not ad-hoc revision. Rather than simply going over whatever a student finds difficult in a given week, the Fundamentals of English Programme follows a deliberate three-phase learning journey: Assess, Build and Develop, and Structure. Students develop knowledge and skills systematically, with weekly exam practice and detailed examiner feedback built in throughout.
