External Assessment Preparation 2026

External Assessment Preparation

Want your students to feel motivated and prepared? Join us for our external examination event which draws on our collective learning from 2020. With the very generous assistance of academics across the university sector, these events provide expert support for General English, EAL/D and Literature.

Our flexible mixed delivery allows you to conduct your own version of our curated materials from the comfort of your own school or home - or a combination of both. 

The program will consist of three segments:

1. Online, self-paced teacher preparation materials, via Vimeo
2. An online suite of teaching/student resources including pre-recorded videos and a Resource Pack, accessible from our website and Vimeo
3. Teachers and students can participate in real time Q&A sessions in early September. More details later.

 Note: segments 1 and 2 are pre-recorded and are available to registered teachers and students at any time from Wednesday 8 July and will remain available to all participants until the examination week in October. 

The link to the pre-recorded student sessions on Vimeo can and should be shared with students. 

Last year we added 4 new texts to the list:  All the Light We Cannot See and The Dry for English and EAL and Beloved and Stasiland for Literature: This year we will be adding Twelfth Night and The Namesake for English and EAL and The Picture of Dorian Gray and Antony and Cleopatra for Literature. 

Note: Macbeth, Burial Rites, In Cold Blood and Lear have been removed from the prescribed list for 2026.

Registration for this event is per teacher who has any access to the materials.  We are often asked which teachers should be registered, particularly where the Head of Department uses the materials, or part thereof, to in-service staff members or uses part of the materials to create resources for their school. In cases such as these, it is expected that each Year 12 teacher of English, EAL or Literature would be registered.

Please respect our copyright by NOT sharing access to any part of the videos or the Resource Park with teachers who are not registered for the program or students in other classes.

The program is now available, and registrations are open.
