Boosters up until the start of study leave

Boosters for week beginning April 16th

Boosters for the rest of this week.

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.

Boosters for the last week of term

Here are the boosters for the final week of term:

Parents and Carers Revision Evening March 12th

On Monday 12th March from 7pm to 9pm we will be running our annual Revision Evening for Parents and Carers of Year 11 students. The evening starts with a talk in the hall and is then followed by a choice of workshops, listed below:

If you are interested in attending, please return the letter that was sent home with Year 11s last week or contact Mrs Bullock at the school.

Back for 2018!

It is that time of the year once again when our focus turns to revision. So to that end I am "dusting off" the revision blog for parents and carers of Year 11 students at St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School with the aim of providing some additional support for those that would like it. The blog posts will consist of news and updates about our revision programme as well as links to copies of useful updates and guidance on what our expectations are as a school in terms of how much revision students should be doing at key points in the next few months.
