- Full answers and model responses
Explore all eleven workbooks
Built for the AQA GCSE English Language (8700) specification — for students resitting in November 2026 or sitting the exam in summer 2027. Every workbook targets a specific place students lose marks, not a general topic area, and is priced by its size — £10.99, £12.99 or £14.99.
Focused support for students who need the next marks.
These workbooks are designed for students who know the basics but keep losing marks in the same places.
You already know the basics
You do not need the whole course taught again. You need focused practice on the gap.
You keep missing the same marks
Choose the workbook that tackles the repeated problem directly.
You want to move up a grade
Practise what the mark scheme rewards, then check your work against the answers.
Practice built around how marks are actually awarded.
One gap at a time
Each workbook targets a specific place students lose marks rather than covering everything vaguely.
Mark-scheme led
Activities are shaped around exactly what AQA rewards in a successful answer.
Made for progress
Students practise, check the answers and see what to change in the next attempt.
Paying for revision? Here is what you get.
Most students do not need the whole course again. They need to fix the few things that keep costing them marks, and they need to practise on paper.
One problem at a time
Each workbook targets one place marks are lost, so your child is not repeating what they already know.
Short units that fit around school
Little and often works better than a cram. Two or three short sessions a week is a realistic routine.
You can check the work
Full answers and model responses are included, so you can see progress without knowing the mark scheme.
Free UK delivery
On every order, including single workbooks. Printed in the UK and posted to your door.

Built around exactly how marks are won
Pass GCSE English is built by an English teacher with extensive secondary and further education teaching and leadership experience, and a deep, detailed knowledge of the AQA mark scheme. Every resource is shaped by exactly what earns marks, not by what a generic revision guide assumes a top answer looks like.
