Supporting Revision
Before the Mock Exams we will be running a parent information evening that will enable our parents to support their children in revising effectively. Here are links to the two sessions throughout the year
A well-structured revision timetable helps students manage their time effectively, balancing subjects, breaks, and rest. Planning ahead reduces stress, builds routine, and ensures consistent study habits that make revision more focused and productive.
Understanding how memory works helps students revise more efficiently. By focusing on retrieval and repetition rather than re-reading, they strengthen long-term recall and make their learning stick when it matters most.
Personal Learning Checklists (PLCs) are created by our expert teachers and help students identify what they know and what they need to work on. This targeted approach ensures revision time is spent effectively on areas that will have the greatest impact.
A calm, organised study environment improves focus and motivation. Good lighting, minimal distractions, and a clear workspace help students concentrate for longer and get more out of each revision session.
Regular self-testing—through quizzes, flashcards, or brain dumps—boosts memory and confidence. Quizzing forces the brain to recall information actively, strengthening knowledge far more effectively than passive review.
Flash cards and mind maps are really powerful tools to support long term memory and your ability to recall information in the exams – if used correctly!
Artificial intelligence is a type of computer software that uses vast amounts of data to create innovative tasks and support for students preparing for their exams. If we use it sensibly and responsibly it has the ability to enhance the work you are already doing.
Exams reward students who can think clearly under pressure. Marks come from doing what the question asks and making sure you use your time wisely so you can show off your learning. Staying focused and motivated are the keys to success.
Year 11 – Study Support – Google Classroom
Our Year 11 students have been invited to a Google Classroom (link here) which have a variety of resources to support revision as well as wellbeing during this time.
