Key to GCSE success is…a consistent approach to studies.

Three simple ways to help develop your child's study skills:

  • Help them to understand that their efforts

affect success – they need to see the bigger picture

  • Ensure that they spend time planning and

checking their own learning - studying is more than just doing homework tasks

  • Reinforce that revision is an ongoing process

– students should create mind maps/cue cards as they complete topics

Work Experience
