Parent Partnership Session: Preparing for Exams - Planning and Revision Strategies

It was a delight to see so many parents in school to go over this important topic. A key point brought out from the session was this: All a pupil can do between now and their upcoming exams is use the time they have in the most balanced, consistent and effective manner possible. The core to achieving this is to have a detailed revision plan laying out how they are going to use each of their revision slots up to the exam. A pupil should take comfort in the knowing that all they can do is work through this plan to the best of their abilities using the support they have around them. As well as talking through this main point we also discussed key things to focus on with your child, before, during and after the exam. Following the introductory talk covering these points parents then chose from 8 workshops that pupils had previously had the option of attending. Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend these sessions and also to the fantastic teachers that put in so much time preparing for the workshops. Materials for all sessions can be found on the links here.
