Hi Victoria, some of the pages are skipping – ie the how to get more marks on composition grade 5. It just automatically skips. Is there a problem? My daughter is taking her grade 5 this autumn and once she’s practised a little more I’d like her to take a look at some top tips on your website. Thank you. Rose

Hi Rose – could you do me a big favour and email me the address page you were on and the link that didn’t work. I am not aware of any problems and haven’t seen anything go wrong myself. Many thanks!
