After this scheme of work has been completed by the class teacher, there should be adequate time for revision of the key areas, exam practice and
mock tests to be taken. There have been in-built assessments to be completed e.g. exams and timed essays etc, which can be marked and used to
record and report to Parents.
All coursework has been implemented to the scheme and this course will cover 22 weeks of the school year – 2 lessons per week, including 8
lessons taught for coursework – National and Local Provision Essays.

15. NB. Each new lesson should begin with a review of the previous – either by homework summaries, mini quiz tests, discussions or fun lesson starters
and this will allow a sequential pattern in learning to follow
