Preparing for the Future

Our Year 11 students will be taking their first formal examinations in just under a week's time. On Monday 9th November, Year 11 were given the opportunity to attend small workshops held by visiting speakers from MADE Training, who we have used in previous years to develop important life skills.

As students progress up the educational ladder, they are exposed to the increasing need of independent learning and self-motivation. MADE Training help to deliver these skill-based workshops to aid students with their revision strategies, organisation and goal setting whilst building confidence and competence to enable students to reach their potential. It was a positive experience to see how certain revision techniques can be implemented to make an immediate impact using the process of read, transform and recall.

We hope that the Yr11's can use the strategies and techniques learnt in form time and at these workshops to revise effectively for their upcoming mock exams and GCSE's. The students really enjoyed the experience and were very receptive to the ideas and strategies explored.

Students should also look out for the Hall of Fame. The names are up of the students achieving or exceeding their FFT target grades.
