Students in Years 7-9 will have tests and assessments to prepare for. To support this all students learn about evidence based revision strategies in assemblies and tutor time.
Please find a link to a one page knowledge organiser showing evidence based revision strategies that are proven to be effective.
You can find out more about these revision strategies here or from the book Ace That Test by the Learning Scientists. We also have a copy in our library.
Please see links below to Animated Study Skills videos for you to watch together (adults and children).
They are designed to support with completing homework as well as ways to prepare for tests and exams.
Please watch these together and discuss ways you can best support the development of independent home learning, which will support academic progress.
