Students will be given the opportunity to revise for upcoming assessments in their lessons or as part of their homework. Students will be given structured activities as part of revision and preparation for examinations and assessments. Revision guides are also available for all subjects - most of these can be bought on Amazon or via school. Students should liaise with their subject teachers to find out which specific revision guides they need.
For Year 11 students, a timetable of after school revision is available. These sessions typically target those students whom need additional support and guidance to meet their targets.

Study skills that are recommended include strategies such as making flashcards condensing the information, making A-maps of words and colourful imagery (dual coding), mnemonics, low-level quizzing and reciting the information as a lecture.
When students have upcoming assessments, we recommend:
Step 1 - Plan
Make a revision timetable.
Allow more time for the topics you find difficult.
Step 2 – Check for understanding
Please ensure you understand what has been taught first.
Find the strategies which best work for you and practice them.
Step 3 – Review by testing yourself using knowledge organisers, low-level quizzing, practise papers/questions.
