Revision guides provided by the school

The school has purchased revision guides for all pupils to support them with revising English Language, English Literature, Maths, Science, Geography, History, French and Business. These revision guides will be distributed to pupils by their subject teachers in the coming days and weeks. Teachers will be supporting pupils to use them effectively as part of their revision process. Please support your child by encouraging them to establish a regular pattern for revision. Details of how you can best support your child can be found at the bottom of this page.

Supporting pupils with revision techniques

Pupils in Year 11 will have two of their ‘Drop Everything and Read’, (DEAR) sessions paused to focus on how they can best revise for their examinations. The PowerPoint presentations from these sessions will be available here to download after they have taken place. From January, pupils will see their DEAR sessions focus on ‘Drop Everything and Revise’.

Supporting pupils with revision techniques

Below are some suggestions about how you can best support your child to revise effectively:

• Ask them to show you the revision timetable that they have produced in their form times
• Support them to identify a space in which they will revise which is free from distraction
• Make sure that they are hydrated and have healthy snacks available
• Encourage them to talk to you about what they have revised
• Make sure that leisure activities are planned in the week to avoid an overload of revision
• Support them to establish and keep a strong routine of sleep with the very least of eight hours a night.
