Posted on 18th Jan 2022

It was great to see lots of Year 11 students join us for a Revision Techniques Workshop, delivered by Mr Jarvis, Assistant Headteacher and supported by our fantastic English department. 

The workshop aimed to support students in developing active revision techniques including: testing, quizzing, completing past papers and retrieval practice.

Cognitive research states that all revision must be active, and that deep thinking helps students remember information. 

memory is the residue of thought

Students should therefore not rely on passive revision methods such as watching revision clips, reading and highlighting materials.
