Cataloguer's note. Gloucestershire sits no standalone English paper. English sits within the verbal skills paper. Downloads as a ZIP file containing the PDF rather than a single PDF. Published by GL Assessment; linked from Stroud High School's website. Re-verify 2026-09-01: current bytes require source-aware reclassification before publication.

Classification coverage: 100% across 103 classified response items from 103 detected. Ratios describe classified items only, so any uncovered detected items are not silently treated as another skill. This profile is automated and is not represented as independent human review. Confirmed, provisional taxonomy, and provisional analysis labels show which claims can safely contribute to trend evidence.
