A Level English
Pearson Edexcel

An examination manual for an A-Level English department, covering both qualifications — Language and Literature. It is about how they are assessed and how students gain marks, not how to teach the texts. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim. Everything after it is about the assessment.

Cover of A Level English — Pearson Edexcel

Written for this specification. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim from Pearson Edexcel's own document; everything after it is about how the assessment works and how students gain marks.

The assessment objectives are worded almost identically across boards and weighted differently, so this book covers Pearson Edexcel only. Check the board you teach before buying.

Written to
Pearson Edexcel A level English Language (9EN0) and English Literature (9ET0)
Intended for
For teachers, heads of department and SLT — not a student revision guide
