First of all, make a list of key words / concepts that you already know of under three headings (the three things that you have to cover). Then do some further research (text books, internet, etc.) and add more detail to those lists. Then arrange it in a comprehensible manner, such that the topics flow well. Then actually make the lists into prose text.
If you want to seem really smart, look up Harvard referencing and reference where you got your information from.
Hope this helps!

PLAN:
I would start by listing the endocrine glands you know about, I can't remember which are covered at A-level (Uni student here
) but possibly: endocrine pancreas, thyroid/parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal etc. I would them list the hormones produced by each gland and note which organ or system they act on and what the result is. Make a couple of notes for the blood stream part as well
STRUCTURE:
I would start with an intro outlining the glands and hormones you will cover and talk about blood stream at this point (as its very basic and could be covered in a couple of sentences), given its relevant to the whole essay (see note about pituitary below).
Then I would do a paragraph on each gland, talking about the hormone produced and the mechanism of action of the hormone and the end result of the hormone.
I'm not sure if you have studied this or not, if not ignore it but I just thought I would mention it in case its a coursework essay (or aiming for the top marks by inducing material not on the syllabus): half of the pituitary has a portal system of capillaries with releasing hormones which cause the release of the target hormones. It is a bit complicated but would be a good example of the role of the blood stream.
I hope that helps
