Revision Timetables
Mr Tomlin has helpfully created an example revision timetable and blank version for you to use. Making a timetable is a great way to feel organised, manage your time and structure your revision so that you can keep track of what you've learned and rehearsed.

Just a reminder for parents that we have purchased the GCSE Pod software for use by year 9,10 and 11 students. There are thousands of podcasts that cover most subject areas and help explain key ideas and concepts in some depth. The pods last about 4 minutes each and can be streamed online or downloaded to the GCSE Pod app on mobile devices. Students can sign up and log on for themselves at the following web address. Please encourage them to use it to go over areas they don’t fully understand from lessons, for revision or even to learn something new! A guide on How to Support your Child with GCSE Pod is available below.
If your child is in year 11, please do encourage them to use the resources on this page of the website to support with their revision.

Subject Support Rota
Below is an overview of which subjects will be offering support and when. Attendance to these sessions is voluntary unless students are specifically instructed to attend by their teacher. If they are being required to attend, it will be clearly communicated to the student in class and agreed with parents/carers via a letter home. If you are unsure whether your child should be attending or not, please contact the subject concerned.
