  • 1. SPACE IT OUT

We learn better if we work in short, intensive bursts rather than marathon sessions

slide-15
SLIDE 15 FIRST UP CONSUL TANTS
  • 2. RETRIEVE

The use of low-stakes tests are repeatedly highlighted as the most effective way of remembering key knowledge

slide-16
SLIDE 16 FIRST UP CONSUL TANTS
  • 3. ELABORATE

Asking questions and then explaining the answer is a powerful way of internalising knowledge and understanding

slide-17
SLIDE 17 FIRST UP CONSUL TANTS
  • 4. INTER-LEAVE

The brain gets bored easily. We learn better when we switch between topics and activities.

slide-18
SLIDE 18 FIRST UP CONSUL TANTS
  • 5. USE EXAMPLES

Concrete examples enable us to demonstrate, understand and explain abstract concepts

slide-19

Parental Support

We are all working towards the same goal! The parental effect on test results is around five times more powerful than the influence of pupils’ schooling, it was revealed

slide-25
SLIDE 25 FIRST UP CONSUL TANTS 25

How you can help your child?

1. Ensure attendance is excellent 2. Ensure they are sleeping, relaxing, drinking water and eating healthy meals and snacks. 3. Ask about their lessons. What did they learn? Enjoy? Need to do for homework? What are they unsure of? 4. Help them plan and start their revision now in year 10. 5. Put all the key dates on the family calendar, phones etc. 6. Actively help with the metacognitive revision strategies.

7. Encourage the use of a wide range of revision tools and apps – these can often be fitted in around other activities.

8. Ensure they have access to revision guides now in year 10. 9. Help encourage and facilitate them attending after school support sessions.

  • 10. Work in partnership with the school for our shared goal

It found 41% of children who used portable gaming devices at least twice a day achieved at least five GCSE A* to C grades, compared with 77% of those who used them less than once a week.
