Why bother with revision?
Effective revision can make all the difference when preparing for an exam, not only helping retain knowledge, but also reducing anxiety.
We would like to invite you to a short presentation on Thursday 26th of September at 6pm, where we will run through the strategies you can use to give your child the best possible grounding for their exams.
Many current Year 11 parents and students may have attended this session last year but this should not dissuade you from attending again to reinforce the information and strategies we are covering.
“Parental support is eight times more important in determining a child’s academic success than social class. The Campaign for Learning found that parental involvement in a child’s education can mean the difference between an A* and an ‘also-ran’ at GCSE. (TES, 10 October 2003)”
All parents that attend will be issued with a free booklet that provides useful hints and tips on revising for exams and a handy wall planner to get organised. I would recommend that your child accompany you to this meeting, as we will all need to work together to have the desired effect.
We look forward to seeing you there.
