Pre-Standardising

As well as being a Teaching and Learning Consultant for Trafford, I am a senior examiner for AQA English Paper One (foundation).

Being an examiner gives you tremendous insight into the examination process. You learn about the key features that divide, say, grade D form C. You also become very confident at assessing your pupils' work for the paper you mark.

I recommend all teachers to try it at least once and Heads of Department should encourage their team to apply for a post. By spreading themselves across the different papers a many new skills can be gained.



Mary is delighted to be told that she's got the marks spot on.
