In today’s fast-paced world, it is worthwhile exploring a part of our cultural heritage which can enrich our lives in all kinds of ways. The abundant variety of novels, poems and plays which constitute English literature not only stir us intellectually and emotionally, but also deepen our understanding of our history and society.

New worlds are opened up when studying literature. Whether it is to get the most out of hobbies, interests or career development, immersion in English literature helps our understanding of the world around us. CCEA English literature qualifications are an ideal passport to this incredible and rewarding journey.

Have your say in the future of GCSE. Tell us your ideas.

The UK Regulatory Authorities are finalising the revised subject criteria for GCSE English Language, English Literature and English. Thank you to those of you who sent responses to the Regulators on the draft criteria.

Once the subject criteria are agreed CCEA and the other UK Awarding Bodies will have to design their new specifications within the parameters set in these documents.

There will be a number of ways in the new year that you can get involved in the consultation on the new specifications.

Before we start this process we would like to gather ideas of good practice e.g tasks that work well, engaging texts, and so on.

Please email us on englishfeedback@ccea.org.uk and tell us what has worked well with your students.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.
