Step Up to English - Secret Spies Theme
Gold Level - Component 2 (creative reading and writing)
A full practice assessment for AQA’s Step Up to English qualification at Gold Level (pre-GCSE). The assessment has been created around an engaging theme of ‘Secret Spies’. Text extracts are taken from ‘The Night Manager’ by John le Carre and ‘Scorpia’ by Antony Horowitz.
This resource contains:

• A full practice assessment.
• A mark scheme to accompany the practice assessment.

Why purchase me?
My theme is highly engaging and I have been created to mirror the assessment criteria of the Step Up to English live assessments.
A ‘Secret Spies’ fully resourced series of lessons, to support this assessment, is currently under development.
Lesson duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.
