Free preview · Eduqas 2027 first exam

Three full editorial analyses from the new Eduqas 2027 anthology — sent to your inbox.

Carol Ann Duffy's Valentine, Seamus Heaney's Death of a Naturalist, and Philip Larkin's Afternoons. Each poem ships with a 50-minute lesson coda and matches the depth of a published Storgy analysis page. The full anthology pack lands later in 2026 — drop your email and we'll send you the rest when it's ready.

The PDF does not reproduce the poems. All three are in copyright — the pack names and dates each poem so you can distribute the text via your Eduqas anthology or a licensed reproduction.

What’s inside

12 pages of teaching-grade material.

Three full editorial analyses

Same depth and structure as a published Storgy poem page — opening claim, form and structure read, image network, scansion notes where they actually matter, and an examiner's-eye summary.

Lesson coda per poem

A 50-minute teaching sequence at the end of each analysis: do-now, modelled close-read, paired-talk task, and exit-ticket prompt. Designed to slot into a single period.

Cross-poem teaching note

What these three anchor poems share — domestic surface, sudden tonal break — and how to teach the moment of swerve as a transferable craft move that the rest of the anthology rewards.

Eduqas 2027 context

A short editorial note on what's confirmed for the first-exam window versus what's still subject to change by WJEC, so you can plan without overcommitting your scheme of work.

Who it’s for

We wrote this for three teachers in particular.

GCSE teachers planning ahead for 2027

You've seen the announcement and want to start building lessons before the bookshop shelves catch up. This pack is three poems' worth of teaching material — enough to ground a unit you'll keep refining.

Heads of department scoping resource budgets

Use the preview as a sample of what a full Eduqas 2027 Storgy unit will look like before committing department spend. If the depth is right, the rest of the anthology comes with the same editorial pipeline.

Teachers who want a sanity-check on AI-drafted resources

Every block is drafted with Claude (Anthropic), passed through a humaniser, and read by a teacher before publishing. The preview is the easiest way to judge whether that pipeline meets your bar before you trust the rest.

Want the same depth on every poem?

Storgy Teacher Pro covers the rest of the Eduqas catalogue.

The full Eduqas 2027 anthology pack will be free for anyone on this list when it ships. If you want the same editorial depth across AP Lit, AQA, and the rest of the GCSE catalogue today, Teacher Pro is the same pipeline applied at scale.
