2. Speaking & Listening next year
Ofqual have released the following statement re: Speaking & Listening in the new curriculum: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/assessment-arrangements-for-gcse-english-language
3. Grading in the new GCSE world
Here is a diagram that shows how current A*-G grades will look in the new 1-9 system. And here is a video that AQA have put together explaining how it all works. It is going to be a harder environment for English next year: the curriculum is designed to be more 'rigorous' and the yardstick (the grade 5) is more like a top C/low B than a current C.
4. Thank you for the marking...
Thank you all very much for the time you put in on the KS3 exams. Please make sure all exam scripts, feedback and marks are now with the appropriate teachers. As a little thank you (and because yesterday was Phoebe's birthday) I've bought in some edibles for everyone. I reckon most people are probably fairly caked-out by now so have gone for something healthier (and more summer-y).
