We ensure that all Year 11 students have the tools they need to succeed with revision through our Year 11 revision skills day, ‘walking, talking mocks’ and our weekly exam preparation sessions that are built into the Year 11 tutor programme. Useful hints include:

We are very proud of the academic achievement and believe this is in no small part to teaching students how to learn and work independently.
Should you have an urgent question, please contact Mr Foster – Pastoral Leader Year 11.
Useful websites that support learning are: GCSE Bitesize; Get revising; mymaths; s-cool; Linguascope; pinpoint learning; Justmaths online registering and engaging with these sites will ensure you can practise the skills learnt in lessons.
Using The student room revision planner will help you to map out your studies over the weeks ahead.
