Free Cambridge Lower Secondary English Language Stage 9 revision notes, worked examples and Checkpoint practice — mapped to the Cambridge Lower Secondary English curriculum framework.
Cambridge Lower Secondary English (Stage 9) is the final year of the Cambridge Lower Secondary English programme — typically taken by students aged 13-14 (UK Year 9) — and culminates in the externally marked Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint. The Checkpoint assesses Reading and Writing through two papers: Paper 1 Non-fiction and Paper 2 Fiction, each beginning with comprehension and ending with an extended writing task. Results report a Cambridge Score per strand, benchmarking learners before they move on to Cambridge IGCSE English.
| Paper | Total marks | Duration | Style of questions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 (Non-fiction) | 50 marks | 1 hour + 10 min reading time | Reading & writing |
| Paper 2 (Fiction) | 50 marks | 1 hour + 10 min reading time | Reading & writing |
