Work Ethic and Home Learning

During Years 10 and 11, there is a greater emphasis on self-guided learning in preparation for GCSE exams at the end of Year 11. 

Students are encouraged to be independent and reflective learners in order to secure the best possible outcomes.  All our students are supported by our subject specialist teaching staff and all the teaching resources can be found in Showbie.  Similarly, all home learning tasks will be assigned to students via Arbor.  Students can access both Showbie and Arbor via their iPads.   Parents can access Arbor via the Parent Arbor app.

Year 11 Preparing for your GCSE exams booklet

Front cover image

THIS SECTION WILL BE UPDATED IN THE SPRING TERM 2025-26

The booklet contains an overview of summer exam dates, some revision top tips from Miss Smith and blank revision timetable templates that you can use to manage your time over the coming weeks.  Alongside this each faculty have created a bank of must do, should do and could do activities to help you plan your revision from now until the start of your exams.  This is a week-by-week suggestion of how to structure your revision, as we know sometimes the hardest thing is knowing where to start! Most of the must do tasks are homework tasks, but as these are generally revision and recall tasks at this point, this very much counts.

Students can tick off tasks as they do them and also annotate a RAG status for each week so you know which topics might need a revisit. Printing off the revision timetable and completing it each week with sessions and subjects done, is also a great way to build confidence at seeing how much has been done, and also of mapping the spread of subjects being covered – we often start with the one we are best at or like the most and leave the trickiest one till last. There are Saturday study sessions beginning at school from Saturday 1 March, 10am to 1pm, this is ideal to bring with you to guide you towards the right tasks to focus on.

We hope you find this booklet helpful to guide your revision and that it will help others to support you at home as well as at school.
