EASTER REVISION COURSES

The purpose of the programme is to give year 11 students a subject specific and  intensive addition to their curriculum areas in the crucial build-up to their GCSE exams. Each course is specifically designed by specialist staff to compliment students’ own revision programme, enhancing subject knowledge and building student confidence. We ask for a small payment towards the total price of putting on the course and to ensure that students fulfil their bookings. The cost for each half session is £5 (up to a maximum of £15). However, students may choose as many courses as they consider appropriate. They will be allocated on a first come first served basis
