REVISION IDEAS
Here is a link with some revision material for core subjects and ideas for ‘How to revise‘: https://m.youtube.com/@GetThatGCSErevision and the powerpoint we shared in assemblies: Revision Top Tips
The year 11 Grade booster SharePoint pages are up and running and they are full of resources to help you work smart and lift your game for the summer exams.
Why not start with the subject rag rating tables to help you prioritise and plan your revision, plus a template revision planner you can save and fill in digitally or print and fill in by hand.
There is a folder with resources uploaded by our subject leads; these include video links, glossaries, blended learning resources, knowledge organisers, links to research and newspaper articles, worksheets and practice tests. Simply click on the folder for your subject and see what we have found to help you boost your grades. The latest addition is advice on how to use past papers and mark schemes most effectively to super charge your revision.
Because we know things can feel a bit uphill when you are working so hard, we have also put together some wellbeing resources for you – with tips on relaxation, diet, exercise and how to get enough sleep.
Go to the student SharePoint and click on the Grade booster tab – from there you can explore and see what works for you. Alternatively click on these links:
