This Blood Brothers scheme is everything I needed for targeted GCSE revision. The lessons are clear, engaging, and packed with contextual and analytical depth. My students particularly benefited from the character-focused sessions and thematic discussions. It’s well-paced, easy to adapt, and brilliantly prepares them for Paper 2. Highly recommended!
