5 November 2026 at 16:00 – 17:00 GMT
This free online training, delivered by our subject specialist Mel Muldowney from JustMaths, supports teachers delivering Pearson Edexcel GCSE Statistics. The training will cover some questions from the Summer 2026 exam series. These questions will be selected using feedback from our examiners.
You will:
- see real student responses
- have the opportunity to give your thoughts on number of marks for each response
- explore the different types of marks given and guidance on when you can award them.
Please note: A recording of the event will be available to attendees within three days of the event. We will also be releasing a copy on our YouTube channel, accessible via the Professional Development Academy, later in the term. This event counts as 1 hour of CPD. You will receive a certificate via email after the event.
