Guidance and Support for Year 11

Our year 11 students benefit from 30 minutes each morning (except for their assembly day) with their tutor.  During this time, students will be expected to engage with revisions materials, hosted through Microsoft Teams, under the supervision and guidance of their tutor.  Students can access subject specific revision materials via their Chromebooks and should also be regularly accessing these resources at home as part of their revision.  Students should also make use of their Seneca accounts, Sparx, generic and subject specific revision websites.

Please find a range of helpful study support materials, hints and tips below

Wellbeing

To support wellbeing in the run up to and during the exams, students should aim to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of sleep and regular exercise and/or downtime.  It is important to maintain strong connections with supportive family and friends.  You may find these links helpful:
