Prompts for What, How and Why, a paragraph planner and a success checklist.
All three levels are in the free Lesson 3 sampler.
Soaring

Choose a licence
Both licences include every file in the scheme, the model answer pack and the revision workbook.
The teacher licence, £60 incl. VAT, covers one named teacher with their own classes. It moves with you if you change school, and upgrades to a school licence for the difference.
Your school needs the school licence, £150 + VAT. It covers every teacher and student at one school on one site, with every correction and update to the unit until the reformed GCSE replaces it.
Half price for the second school. Each further school in the same multi-academy trust has its own school licence for the same unit at half the school licence price. Email hello@btl.education with the trust’s name and both schools’ names to buy it.
A revision pack suits home better. The scheme is for teaching. The Jekyll and Hyde revision pack has the revision workbook, the model answer pack and practice at three levels, as PDFs, for £15 including VAT.
Not covered. Private tuition isn’t covered by the teacher or school licence. Email hello@btl.education to ask about it.

Several schemes together cost less: see the routes. To upgrade a teacher licence, or to license another school in your trust at half price, email hello@btl.education. Please don’t share the files outside your school or upload them to public websites.
Buying through your school? Ask your school to buy it: it opens an email with both licences, the prices and our company details, ready to send to whoever approves the spending.
Licence questions
Can colleagues use my teacher licence?
No. A teacher licence covers one named teacher with their own classes. If colleagues want to use the resources, your school needs a school licence, and a teacher licence upgrades to one for the difference in price.
Can I put the files on Google Classroom or Teams?
Yes, on your school’s own learning platform, where only your students can see them. With a school licence, the school’s staff and students can see them there too. Not on any website or sharing service that people outside the licence can reach, Tes included.
What happens if I move school?
A teacher licence moves with you. Tell us at hello@btl.education and we will update our record and reissue your files. A school licence stays with the school.
Can students keep their copies?
With a school licence, yes: students may keep their copies for their own study, including after they leave.
Do we get updates?
A school licence includes every correction and update to that unit until the reformed GCSE replaces it. We send them to the email address on the order.
Does a school licence cover the other schools in our trust?
No. Each school needs its own licence. Each further school in the same multi-academy trust can have a school licence for the same unit at half price.
Can I edit the files?
Yes. Edit the Word and PowerPoint files to suit your classes. Edited versions stay under the same licence and may not be shared any more widely than the originals.
Is private tuition covered?
No. The teacher licence does not cover private tuition, and a school licence covers one school’s teachers and students.
Does our CLA licence cover these resources?
No. These resources are not covered by the CLA Education Licence, so it gives schools no further right to copy them.
Why are a name and an order number printed on the files?
Paid files carry the licence holder’s name and the order number, so a shared file shows whose copy it is. We never print an email address.
The licence terms have the full wording.
