For multi-academy trusts
AQA GCSE English schemes your schools can share
Every lesson in a Between the Lines scheme has slides, teacher notes and a student pack at three levels, so one shared task works for every student in the room. A trust can put the same schemes into each of its secondary schools, and each further school has its own school licence at half price.
One question, three levels
Lesson 3 asks every student the same question: How does Shakespeare make the witches unsettling, and why open with them? Each student pack keeps the task and changes the support around it.
Securing
Aiming for a 4
A word bank, a choice of exact quotations, a worked example on a different quotation, and sentence starters for What, How and Why.
Strengthening
Aiming for grades 5 to 6
Prompts for What, How and Why, a paragraph planner and a success checklist.
Soaring
Aiming for grades 7 to 9
A debatable statement to argue with, prompts to think about, analytical verbs, and an argument planner that asks for an alternative reading.
All three levels are in the free Lesson 3 sampler.

Prices for a trust
Per school, plus VAT. Each school has its own school licence, which covers every teacher and student on that site.
| Per school, + VAT | First school | Each further school in the trust |
|---|---|---|
| Scheme of learning | £150 + VAT | £75 + VAT |
| Scheme with its Raising Achievement set | £200 + VAT | £100 + VAT |
| Unseen poetry scheme | £100 + VAT | £50 + VAT |
| Unseen poetry with its Raising Achievement set | £150 + VAT | £75 + VAT |
| Revision set | £60 + VAT | £30 + VAT |
| Raising Achievement set | £60 + VAT | £30 + VAT |
Five secondary schools teaching An Inspector Calls, with its Raising Achievement set: £200 + 4 × £100 = £600 + VAT for the trust.
A school licence for one school does not cover the others in its trust, so each school has its own. The Literature, Language and whole-course bundles are priced for one school. Further schools in the trust take each unit at half price.
Ask for a quote and we’ll send it to the trust or to each school. Schools can pay by card in the shop, or send a purchase order to hello@btl.education and we’ll send the files and an invoice. See the licence terms.
