We were delighted to welcome students and parents to our recent Exam Preparation and Revision Support Session. The event provided a valuable opportunity for families to explore practical strategies that can support students as they prepare for upcoming assessments. While aimed at Year 9 students starting their GCSE journey, the revision tips are invaluable for all year groups.

During the session, we looked at several key areas:

• The Teenage Brain: Parents and students gained insights into how adolescents learn best and how these strengths can be used to improve exam performance.

• Effective Revision Strategies: We explored a range of evidence-based techniques that students can use to revise more efficiently, many of which can be put into practice straight away.

• Planning for Success:  structured revision plans that are manageable, realistic, and balanced with time for rest and other activities.

• Supporting Your Child: Parents were offered guidance on how to provide encouragement and structure throughout the revision and exam period.

We would like to thank all parents and students who attended. Your engagement and enthusiasm helped make the session a great success, and we hope the ideas shared will support students in feeling confident and well-prepared for the exam season ahead.
