Lighthouse conferences offer students a rich, memorable, learning experience.

This year, with the beginning of the New Specification, there will be new targets but our conferences will contain the same quality of content as before. The event has been especially designed by a team of expert practitioners, senior examiners - to provide students with top guidance and advice, challenge them to re-think their understanding, raise students' confidence and engage them in a range of varied, stimulating activities throughout the day.

The day will be fast-paced and designed to hold students' attention and entertain whilst at the same time delivering key lessons and messages from leading examiners, which cannot be obtained elsewhere: crucial insight to reach a grade C at GCSE English.

Video clips, on-stage activities, group activities, opportunities for students to excel on stage, professional actors performing a range of sketches / improvisation moments, together with the key messages from senior examiners, are all part of the 2013 Lighthouse conference experience for students. The event promises to provide an out-of-the classroom experience which really can make a difference to their learning and final examination experience.
