June 2026 teaching English update
This June, it’s all about the questions:
• Spotlight on accessibility: how can I plan delivery for my less able KS4 students?
• When can I access the assessment materials from the June 2026 exam series?
• How can I provide feedback on the June 2026 exams?
• How does grading and awarding work?
• What are the entry and submission deadlines for the November 2026 exam series?How can I:
• get ready for delivery for the 2026-2027 academic year?
• support the reading of students starting KS3 and 4 in September?
• set up for coursework success in the 2026-2027 academic year?
• get to grips with using AI constructively in the KS3 and KS4 classroom?
• network with other GCSE teachers this summer?
• improve my A level literature students’ prose performance summer?
Find the answers to these questions and lots more in my June teaching English update. -
May 2026 teaching English update
Dear Colleagues
As we approach possibly the most pressured time of the academic year, I’d like to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work and your dedication to your students. I hope that the NEA submission and exam preparation period runs smoothly and wish you and your students all the very best for the summer exams.
Best wishes
Clare Haviland
