8. Revision in School
• School is the best place to revise for exams because:
Timetable is adapted to meet revision needs
Specialist teachers available to provide expert input
Ensures a minimum of 5 hours revision each day
Subjects which ‘finish’ become supervised study sessions in the library
• Students in school as normal until first weeks of June – date to be
confirmed.
• For a small number of students we will look at a more flexible
programme
