What students should be doing this week - w/b 9th April

Hopefully the Easter Break was an opportunity for students to really get on top of their revision. The statistics from Moodle (or Virtual Learning Environment) show that many students are making good use of our central revision area. This is the place where students can find topic lists and past papers so that they know exactly what it is they need to be revising. Unsurprisingly, the students who most need to visit this area are often the ones who don't. It is definitely worth parents and carers checking with students that they have topic lists and past papers for all of their subjects (and pointing them in the direction of Moodle if they are unable to produce them when asked!). In terms of revision, we would normally expect students to increase their revision at this point (perhaps by adding an additional session or two at weekends) or at the very maintaining the one and a half hours per night that we recommend in the revision planner.

What students should be doing this week - w/b 19th March

In this final week of term, it is vital that students make sure that they have everything they need to make the Easter Break a really useful time in terms of revision. They should make sure they are clear on exactly what to revise. The central revision area of Moodle has topic lists for most subjects. If they are unable to find what they need there, they should ask their subject teacher and if that doesn't work, speak to Mr Taylor.
Students should still be doing one full revision session per night based around our "Prepare It!", "Learn It!", "Test It!" model. Each session will probably take around one and half hours. Once the holidays begin, this should increase to 3 or 4 sessions per day.
