Revision Support for Year 11

Supporting Year 11 with resources

With the first written GCSE exam (see Exams) for Year 11 pupils taking place on Monday 15 May 2023, we are keen to make sure that our Year 11 pupils can easily access all the support they need and know where to find resources which their subject teachers are recommending. 

We offer a number of revision top-up and drop-in sessions for our Year 11 pupils, as well as pointing pupils in the direction of additional paper-based and online resources. Pupils should take advantage of the resources shared with them on Show My Homework. 

We recommend that pupils make the most of the time they have left in school by attending extra sessions being offered by subject teachers; these present the perfect opportunity for pupils to ask about any areas they feel less confident about. 

Please note: these listings were updated on 6 March 2023 but may be subject to change. Pupils should double check with their teachers.
