Preparing students for the Cambridge IGCSE™ First Language English exam poses a lot of challenges. It requires our students to develop competency in a wide range of reading and writing skills, and to deploy these skills in a way that satisfies a wide range of question types. Furthermore, the exam is often seen by students as something ‘difficult to revise for’.

We will also consider how we can use English resources to support students’ wellbeing.
