Orwell’s 1984 - tell me if you or your children studied this please?

[Tinysoxxx]

Help needed on when it was studied please mumsnetters.

I need:

1. level of study eg. Gcse/higher
2. year of exam
3. subject eg drama or English Literature
4. board eg AQA, if known

Thank you

p.s. if anyone knows how I can find out when/where this was studied historically too that would be great.

I read it at school in 2nd half of the 70s.
I remember being told that it was '1984' was because it was written in 1948 , and that would have seemed a long time in the future, but was less random than any year plucked out of the air.

My dc (who are all in their 20s) have all read it, but I don't recall if it was in school or just because they had heard about it and wanted to read it for themselves, and, if in school was for GCSE, A-Level, or elsewhere in school, not for public exams I'm afraid.

I read it for school when I was about 13 or 14 in 1984ish but I don't think for O levels.

Read it 1980 pre A level post O level girls grammar

I taught it for GCSE about 12 years ago - it was on the OCR spec and I think the last year we taught that one was either 2010 or 2011. The kids are about 30 now, I think.

Yes, we studied this but can't remember if it was for O'Grade or Higher, so 1988/9

I found this syllabus for Cambridge board - it is on the subject 2002 list 1984.

I studied it in 13/14 for SQA Highers in Scotland

There is even a question paper 1984. One on page 6 and more on page 8.

Yes gcse English lit 1997 AQA I think

studied (lightly) in year 7, 1981. Was v excited that it wasnt yet the year 1984 which held out possibilities. I think it was helpful to be introduced to the thinking even though my understanding at the time was very superficial. I hated the diaries. Pre national curriculum, obv. Never thought some of this stuff would happen,

I did it at school - O Level English Lit 1985.
Cambridge board.

International O level English Literature for me in 1987, Cambridge was the examining board. My son is currently studying it in English Literature A level, think examining board is Edexcel, might be AQA.

English O level. Approximately 1973 Scottish exam board

Studied for O levels in 1974/75. Cannot recall which board.

took this for O'level English Lit in 1983

O'Level - but read the book in 4th year in 1984
Exam 1985
Eng language (not lit)
Oxford (I think but really can't remember)

My DD studied it in Year 8. They read the whole book.

That was 2 years ago.

Whoops- wrong book😄 It was Animal Farm...

My son studied it this year - last year of high school in Italy (equivalent to last year of A levels).

Year 7, personal reading rather than set text.

Sorry, realised not a useful answer. Apologies!

GCSE 1995 English

DD studied it last year, English Lit iGCSE. Appears to be CIE board but I have no idea what that is.

I read it as a child aged 12 as part of general reading

Never has it been more current than now given the ideological stripping away of the meaning of language to further whatever ideological cause certain parties want to control.

This is not just somewhere like Russia but right here in the U.K. where gender identity ideology has been used to intercept thought in just about every institution institution.l including the NHS and schooks.

Here in case anyone is interested is a petition to update the Equality Act to make clear that ‘sex’ means biological sex as originally intended, not sex as modified by a gender recognition certificate,
