Y11
Countdown to examsYear 11
P6
All Year 11s attend 1 extra lesson each day, meaning over a 2-week period they have 2 Maths, 2 Science, 2 English lessons and 4 Options lessons.
P7 and Working Lunch
As well as P6, we offer students a range of additional support with our teaching team . Working Lunch runs every day in G29. Students may also work in Final Ascent each night to complete homework and revision.
Attendance
Students with excellent attendance are in the best position to achieve the top grades in their GCSEs. 100% attendance: Evidence shows that students are 2 times more likely to achieve at least 5 GCSEs (at grades 9-4), than students who have 80% attendance.
Holiday school
Each holiday, teachers run additional lessons to support students with improving knowledge and revision techniques to maximise their exam performance.
Results day
Students can collect their GCSE results on 21st August 2025.
We will of course contact parents with further details on all of the above closer to the time.
Revision Strategies
In addition to subject homework, students should complete at least 1 hour of revision per night. We recommend the following revision strategies.
-
Flashcard revision (using flashcards)
-
Cornell Notes (using your practice book)
-
Self-Quizzing (using your practice book)
-
Past Paper Questions (from Final Ascent)
The video below shows how to use these strategies effectively.
