Form 6 Revision Techniques Workshop

Form 6 were released form their normal timetable last Monday morning for what could potentially be the most important lesson of their whole Common Entrance career. Working with Miss Stroud and Mrs Hall they were given expert instruction in how to prepare themselves physically, emotionally and mentally for the next few months of revision and ultimately the CE exams themselves.
The pupils discovered what type of learner they each were – visual, auditory or kinaesthetic, and experimented with different revision activities and techniques to see which way of revising best suits their own learning style.
The pupils were guided through devising a realistic revision timetable, allowing for concentrated periods of work and essential rest periods, as well as holistic matters such as the role of healthy eating, physical fitness, relaxation and stress busting techniques in the lead up to important exams.
The session was complimented on Monday evening by a Teach-In for parents, offering them the opportunity to learn some of the techniques for themselves as well as guidance on supporting their children’s revision and preparing them for the exam period.
