Education and Curriculum Terms: A Guide for Students and Teachers
Please note: This page explains a word or a process in education. It is general information about the system, the law and the guidance in England — not advice about your child, your school or your exam. If a decision is going against you, get advice from one of the free services we link to before you agree to anything or miss a deadline. If you are revising, check your own exam board's specification: boards word things differently and yours is the one that marks you.
Revising? We write GCSE revision songs — a playlist covering most subjects and the English set texts. Listen to the revision playlist.
