Revision Texts for English
There are many editions available so please make sure you buy one for the EDUQAS specification and the new Grade 9-1 GCSE. The most cost effective is the edition from CGP.
For English Literature, we would recommend that students have their own copies of their set texts and use online study guides for revision. Cheap and second-hand editions are available from Amazon.
Students will need copies of:
  • A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
  • Blood Brothers by Willy Russell
  • The script of Macbeth is widely available for free online and students already have personal copies of the poetry anthology.
