• My experience of my children going through GCSEs • What support you can expect with revision at Simon Balle
Industrial earmuffs
Military operation room
Bedroom revision and games
MY TOP TIPS Its just a short period of time, life will get back to normal Make sure they have somewhere to revise 30 mins per subject maximum with breaks between Food and water and plenty of it Time to chill Fight the big battles lose the little ones
How many of you honestly remember what it is like to do your GCSEs/ O-Levels/CSEs?
DO NOT WORRY Simon Balle prepares its students very well for their GCSEs
The students will have two assemblies with me on revision and techniques, this includes ways to revise, top tips for revising, how to manage their time and fill in a timetable. They will be emailed revision templates
Revision workshops
Period 5 revision time Each form will receive a box with some of the revision guides, record cards ,felt tips, highlighters , revision templates and timetables It can be a good use of their time as the more they do at school the less is needed to be done at home so everyone wins!
