Methodology
How we teach.
Two distinct methodologies under one quality framework, because how a subject is taught should reflect how it is assessed.
Evidence first. Practice with purpose.
Two methodologies.
One standard.
Every subject is taught with the same rigour, while the lesson structure reflects how that subject is actually assessed.
Mapped against Assessment Objectives and exam-board mark schemes to identify the precise skill costing marks.
Close textual analysis and carefully annotated reading practice build a reliable foundation.
Paragraph and essay construction is taught explicitly against band descriptors.
Contextual frameworks and critical theory are introduced as the student's analysis develops.
Timed essays are reviewed against real mark schemes and grade boundaries.
Strengths and improvements are mapped back to the specific Assessment Objective that needs attention.
