Why a Strong GCSE in English Unlocks Your Child's Future
English is more than just a subject; it's the key that opens doors. A strong grade in both Language and Literature is often a requirement for the A-Levels and college courses your child has their eye on. The skills they develop—from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to building a compelling argument—are exactly what respected universities like Birmingham and Aston look for. It gives them the foundation to communicate clearly and confidently, whatever path they choose.
