We know that, at its best, English unlocks knowledge, nurtures empathy and values diverse voices. We also know this vital subject is being challenged by pressures like never before.
We've been carrying out extensive research and working with hundreds of teachers, learners, parents and stakeholders across the country to develop a clear view of the challenges facing GCSE science education and what is needed to address these.
