Each qualification can also be flexibly taught. They can be delivered during the classroom study of a curriculum topic or as a standalone activity as part of a lunchtime or after school group. Moreover, you can teach each qualification at a pace that works for you. It could be taught in a full dedicated week as part of a literacy or oracy focus. Alternatively, it can be taught more slowly as part of a project. For example, Black History Month or the commemoration of the First World War. Qualifications in our Graded Examinations in Speech portfolio can be made more accessible for students with additional educational needs. You can make a reasonable adjustment application for a student. Reasonable adjustments can include, but are not limited to:

 Changing usual assessment arrangements such as giving extra time to complete an activity (e.g. a talk);

 Re-organising the assessment room, so that a student with a hearing impairment can sit closer to the assessor;

 Choosing a pre-selected reading passage.

For further information, please see our Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations Policy.
