Why a Top Grade in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another GCSE; it's a core qualification that top universities and employers look for. The ability to analyse a complex quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay is a skill that helps in every other subject. Strong English skills show clear thinking and communication – exactly what prestigious universities want to see, giving your child the best possible foundation for their future.
