Lighthouse conferences offer students a rich, memorable, learning experience.

This year, the second year of the New Specifications, there will be new targets but our conferences will the same quality of content as before. The event has been especially designed by a team of experts - practitioners, senior examiners - to provide students with top guidance and advice, challenge them to re-think their understanding, raise their confidence and engage them in a range of varied, stimulating activities throughout the day.

The day will be pacy and challenging. Students will be entertained and motivated to excel in their examinations receiving crucial insight and guidance from senior GCSE English examiners on how to reach a grade A/A* at GCSE English.

Video clips, comedy, writing opportunities and opportunities for students to excel on stage, and professional actors performing a range of sketches / improvisations, together with the key messages from senior examiners, are all part of the 2013 Lighthouse conference experience for students. These events promise to provide an out of the classroom experience which really can make a difference to their learning and final examination performance.
