Year 11 Information Evening - Tuesday 11 February

Thank you to everyone who attended the information evening.  Click on this link to access a copy of the slides.

Year 11 Preparing for your GCSE exams booklet

The booklet contains an overview of summer exam dates, some revision top tips from Miss Smith and blank revision timetable templates that you can use to manage your time over the coming weeks.  Alongside this each faculty have created a bank of must do, should do and could do activities to help you plan your revision from now until the start of your exams.  This is a week-by-week suggestion of how to structure your revision, as we know sometimes the hardest thing is knowing where to start! Most of the must do tasks are homework tasks, but as these are generally revision and recall tasks at this point, this very much counts. Students can tick off tasks as they do them and also annotate a RAG status for each week so you know which topics might need a revisit. Printing off the revision timetable and completing it each week with sessions and subjects done, is also a great way to build confidence at seeing how much has been done, and also of mapping the spread of subjects being covered – we often start with the one we are best at or like the most and leave the trickiest one till last.

Saturday Revision Sessions

Saturday revision sessions are an opportunity for students to undertake independent silent study in G2 in the Sixth Form.

These sessions will be open to students in Year 11.  Complimentary hot drinks will be available for students.  They do not need to wear uniform, we do ask that they bring their own revision material and ask that they do not use their mobile phone or wear earphones.  These sessions are designed to allow them to focus on their own independent revision, free from distractions.  These sessions are offered free of charge but should be booked as places are limited.  

Sessions will be running on the following dates:

• Saturdays 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 March - 10am to 1pm
• Saturday 26 April - 10am to 1pm
• Saturday 3 May - 10am to 1pm
• Saturday 10 May - this session will be dedicated to English Language and Literature.  More information will be shared closer to the time.

Places for these independent silent study sessions can be booked via Arbor within the Clubs section from Monday 10 February.
