This half term has seen Year 10 preparing for and sitting their PPEs (pre-public ‘mock’ exams) and Year 11 preparing for their final GCSE exams. In tutor time and in lessons students have been looking at how to manage their time when preparing for exams, and effective strategies for revision. This included methods for remembering your learning, such as flashcards, self-quizzing and ‘look-cover-write-check’. Year 11 have also looked at using past papers, models and feedback to improve their skills to achieve the best grades they can in their exams.

Year 10 students will find out their results on ‘mock results day’ on June 15th and subsequent lessons will look with students at how to improve their learning as they prepare to move into Year 11.
