EMI provides examiner-informed peer-learning workshops for AQA schools across the UK, Middle East, and Southern Africa — at GCSE and A-Level in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Physics. We work alongside classroom teaching, not instead of it. The first conversation costs nothing.
We do not ask associations to promote a commercial product to their members. We ask whether EMI's examiner-informed content can be a useful resource for the schools you already serve.
Our facilitators are current or former AQA examiners. AQA examiner reports consistently identify command word misapplication and insufficient working as the two leading causes of avoidable mark loss — our workshops address both directly.
AQA is the dominant board across UK independent schools. Our facilitator pool reflects that — experienced in the specific marking culture and command word conventions that AQA examiners apply.
AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300), Physics (8463), L2 Further Mathematics (8365), and A-Level Mathematics (7357), Further Mathematics (7367), and Physics (7408) — all paper-mapped, all examiner-informed.
AQA 8365 bridges GCSE and A-Level and is often the first signal of a student capable of Further Mathematics at A-Level. EMI treats it as preparation for A-Level, not another GCSE exam.
Every workshop is paper-mapped to a specific board, subject, and qualification level. Students from different boards are never in the same session.

Command word guides and grade boundary documents for all AQA subjects across GCSE and A-Level — available to share with every AQA department in your network today.
Two or three member schools receive the full EMI 3-day trial simultaneously. No cost to the association, the schools, or the students. Outcomes reported back to your executive.
Our AQA facilitators have direct experience of the UK independent school sector — the expectations of AQA centres, the student profiles, and the specific command word conventions that AQA examiners apply.
AQA schools benefit from EMI across the full secondary journey — from GCSE Mathematics and Physics through to A-Level and Further Mathematics. One association relationship supports the entire student cohort.
After any pilot, EMI provides the association executive with an honest aggregate assessment — not a promotional document. Your executive decides whether to continue.
Enhanced DBS clearance for all facilitators. Named DSL. Published policies. Full compliance documentation shared with schools before any session begins.
We do not ask associations to endorse an untested programme. Two or three member schools trial EMI simultaneously — at no cost to anyone. The outcomes are reported directly to your executive. If the pilot does not serve your AQA schools, we would rather know. Any broader arrangement is discussed after the evidence, not before it.
We understand that safeguarding is not a checkbox for school associations — it is the precondition for any meaningful partnership. Every element of EMI's safeguarding framework is published and auditable.
Every facilitator is Enhanced DBS cleared before any student contact. No exceptions. Documentation available to partner schools on request.
EMI has a named DSL available to schools and parents throughout any engagement. Contact details provided to partner schools before the first session.
