Support Materials

A wide range of support is available to assist teachers delivering our GCSE in German. Teachers and students can make use of the following:

  • specimen papers and mark schemes;
  • a resource pack;
  • controlled assessment exemplar tasks;
  • controlled assessment mark schemes; and
  • the GCSE German Specification.

We run support seminars and agreement trials at various times throughout the year, and we can also arrange centre support visits. Please check our website regularly for more information.

We intend to expand our range of support to include the following:

  • past papers and mark schemes;
  • exemplary performances;
  • Chief Examiner’s reports;
  • resource packs; and
  • student guides.
