Ds1 is in year 11, he is predicted a grade 7 which is obviously amazing but his teacher said if he wants a higher grade he needs to change his writing style.
He actually said to us at parents' evening that Ds is writing at A level standard and he needs to signpost the answer, literally point to the answer.
We believe this means if the question is "Why was public health in medieval monasteries so good" he has to start each paragraph with some version of "The public health of monasteries was so good because...."
His AO1 is good so it isn't a lack of knowledge or AO2, just the way he writes.
I don't have a WAGOLL for any GCSE history questions, only one on sources provided by school which says things like "I know this...." and then demonstrates some AO1 not in the source, and "this would be a good source for a historian because..."
His exam board is OCR.
