Year 11 Prom Information Letter
Year 11 Parent/Carer Information Evening, Wednesday 18th September
It was encouraging to see so many of our families attending the first parent/ carer information evening of the year. The slides from the evening's presentation are below, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at at the school.
Mock Examination Results Day
We held our first mock examination results day on Thursday 28th November during form time. Pupils received a sealed envelope with a printed copy of their results inside. This is an important time of year when pupils begin to reflect on how effective their revision has been and begin to prepare for their second set of mock examinations which begin on Monday 3rd February
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
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.
