This weekend I have been running up my own proverbial backside, and seriously haven’t stopped. It was so mental (and if ONE more person mentions how much they are getting done in “gain time” I swear they will get both barrels!) I had to plan todays lesson during period 1 which has always been the … Read more
THIS IS FROM 2014 AND NOT THE MOST RECENT BEST GUESS PAPER – CHECK OUT BEST GUESS 2015 Ok … lets make it clear there is no guarantee that any of the topics we’ve included in this resource, will come up in paper 2 – (Edexcel Linear) we have no secret “ins” and I haven’t got a mole, we are using what is … Read more
