Self Study Skills

All students will be given the opportunity to develop their self-study skills through a programme delivered during registration time by tutors.

In the Autumn term of Year 12, students look at both study skills (for example organisation and resilience) and life skills (such as confidence and empathy). In the Spring term of Year 12, students are then given support to develop their revision skills using a variety of different strategies.

In Year 13, we build upon this and students work on skills for success in the Autumn term, focusing on the particular skills required when applying for further education and/or employment. Students are also given an opportunity in the Spring term to fine tune their revision skills in preparation for their final examinations. Finally, in the Summer term before students depart on exam leave, they look at skills required for later life.
