Here are the templates for you to use with the download data for the 1MA0 papers from Edexcel. along with the usual instructions about importing your data into the workbooks (here).

As part of the groundworks for the collaborative scheme of work I have been looking at the new programmes of study for KS3 and KS4, and looking at the overlap in subject content. Many schools will be looking a 3 year GCSE (and yes that means starting to teach it from this September!) and most schools … Read more
I’m not sure how much use some of this will be, but thought I’d share it anyway … There is so much change in the pipeline, and so many things yet to be confirmed by the DFE in terms of equivalencies between the new GCSE’s from 2015 and the current qualification that sometimes its difficult … Read more

The reasoning being: I’ve … Read more
This is going to be one of my bullet point blogs (yes!! they’re back!!) as a bit of a catch up; When I wasn’t sure anyone was actually reading this shiz, I felt I could just whitter on and even though its now getting a massive number of hits I don’t want to get inhibited, or to start … Read more
Today the new GCSE subject content for teaching from 2015 was published (here). On the whole, in terms of content, it is a lot better than the previous programme of study (here) – what will now happen is that the exam boards will put together specifications, and that’s when the real meat gets put on … Read more
Just a quick post to say that some of you lucky people (I’m not sure I mean lucky?!) will be getting the chance to meet up with Seager, in his capacity as HoD (and me if you are REALLY lucky) … he does exist I promise! .. as the next couple of months get a bit busy … Read more
