“The best form of revision involves the condensing
(shortening) and rewriting of your notes”
Condense your notes down into short memorable ‘bites’ – post
them on your wall in a logical order …
Mind Maps summarise your work in a personalised pictorial
way – draw your notes in a memorable way for you – the
pictures will help you to recall information at a later date
Convert what you need to remember into a short story – this will
help you to recall facts at a later date …
Record your notes and play them back to yourself frequently –
this helps you to recall information at a later date. Some say
playing notes back as you go to sleep helps as well. Create
Podcasts and MP3s
Try things and find out what works best for you!!??
Be specific!
Don’t get distracted! (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat …)
Don’t just play games! (even if they are “educational”)
Do listen to music (if this helps you to concentrate)
Give yourself a set time
Check you have learnt something – test yourself
Not all revision can be done on the internet!!
Make sure you know when your assessments are!!
Bring the right equipment …
See-through pencil case or clear plastic bag
No mobile phones
Bottle of water (no label)
Have something to eat and drink before your assessments
RE-VIEW, RE-READ, RE-DO, RE-WORK!!!
Do a minimum of 1 hours work each night during revision weeks
Give up a few things for a week to maximise your chances of
success (x-box, going out …)
Doing “OK” is not enough these days – it’s a competitive world –
Sixth Form places / Apprenticeships / Jobs are harder to come by –
AIM HIGH!!!
You don’t get anything for nothing in life – GRAFT!!!
Provide a quiet space to work in
Help to organise
Talk about revision and work being done

Attendance and Behaviour
Raise Your Chances!Get your attendance
right!What does “Good attendance” mean?
This is Mandy. She is in Year 7 and has 90% attendance.
Is that good?
What does this mean?
Mandy thinks this is pretty good, so do her parents. Are they right?
90% attendance = ½ day missed every week!!
Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri
?
Absent half a day every week
Lets look a little closer…..
1 school year at 90% attendance = 4 whole
weeks of lessons MISSED!!!
38 school weeks
Sept July
?
Absent for 4 weeks
90% attendance over 5 years of secondary school….
= ½ a school year missed!

Y9 ½ a year absent from school

Y11
What impact might this have on Mandy’s life……?
Research suggests that 17 missed school days a
year = a GCSE grade DROP in achievement. (DfES)
The greater the attendance the greater the attainment.
