Shortage subjects

The different subjects examined and moderated involve varying numbers of papers and components, and therefore varying numbers of examiners, moderators or markers. This will be particularly the case with the new Diplomas.

We are particularly looking for examiners, moderators and markers for the following subjects:

• English (including English language and literature)
• History
• Religious studies

For many teachers, religious studies is not their main subject. Examining religious studies can be a highly productive way of getting to know the subject in more depth, which will help you and your students.

We would also encourage potential examiners who find that panels are full for their first choice of subject, to consider applying for another subject they teach. For example, many teachers have experience teaching general or religious studies outside their main specialism.
