Excellence for all
in an ever changing world
• An accessible and enabling qualification for all abilities of learner.
• An assessment journey that supports students through each paper to make it
a positive and engaging experience for all.
• Two clear and distinct identities: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing,
and Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives.
• NFER: “The AQA specification for English Language is innovative, combining
reading and writing in each of the two papers. This is effective as the reading
texts serve a double purpose: as the basis for comprehension questions and
as supporting text for the writing tasks”.

• Literature enriches lives and develops key aspects of literacy as well as
providing insights into the self and the human condition.
• We feel that the study and assessment of Literature is of value for all
abilities of students.
• Making use of a range of assessment strategies so that ‘closed book’ and
un-tiered aspects of the new regulations are not barriers to learning. AQA
use extracts within the exam papers to support close analysis.
• Two part questions are holistically marked to reward students for the
quality of their response.
