The texts - for starters!

Many of you have been asking if you can take copies of texts home to revise from. Whilst this is sometimes OK, we don't have enough copies to send one home with every student. However, some of our key texts are avaliable online - so you can have a read of them if you are wondering how to use your revision time! Follow, or cut/paste, the links below to read them online FOR FREE!

GCSE ENGLISH Revision Blog

Welcome to the Deyes High School GCSE English revision blog. This is a brand new site for anybody who is currently sitting GCSE English (Not Language or Literature). Whether you are a Year 10 student, or a Year 11 student preparing to take your resit (Writer's Craft) exam this summer, you will find resources on here that will help you to get to know the exam and texts, so that you will feel well prepared once the assessment comes around.

Every week, a new resource will be added for you to look at. By the time the assessments come, you should have access to lots of stuff that will help you to achieve to the best of your ability.

If anybody needs any extra help or assistance - or you would like a particular area covered on this blog - simply come and speak to me or your teacher in school and we will get it organised!

Have fun, and good luck when the time comes!
