Revision for exams is a vital part of learning. It involves hard work but also knowing which techniques work. 

All our students from Year 7 upwards will be required to revise for their mid-way and end of year assessments, and obviously this becomes vital when they reach Year 11 and 13. Students need to practice recalling and applying the knowledge they have and therefore they need to commit it to memory.

Subject specific revision guidance will be shared on Microsoft Teams/Bromcom where your child's individual class teacher or Head of Faculty will upload revision materials. 

In addition, to the revision provided by your child's teachers on Microsoft Teams/Bromcom, there are also very useful online platforms which can be below and students have access to the Alsop Knowledge Organisers for their year group which consist of  the key knowledge your child will be assessed on during this academic year.
