Revision

Our curriculum is designed to build students’ knowledge, understanding and subject-specific skills progressively over time. As a result, by the time students reach their final examinations, they should be well prepared for the challenges ahead, requiring revision and consolidation of learning rather than re-learning content.

In addition, each subject area will provide specific guidance on effective revision resources and strategies. These will be supported by scheduled booster and revision sessions throughout the academic year.

Both mock and formal examinations will be accompanied by a wide range of subject-specific resources, which will be made available through lessons and via Show My Homework/Satchel One.
