If more AP provision is out of the question then some sort of nationwide literacy booster/catch up programme. It's the key to everything else

Currently working on increasing exam exposure and exam literacy with GCSE groups. What methods have people used to deliver info on mark schemes? Currently displaying MS then deconstructing verbally to class but wary the language isn't student-friendly
