It was wonderful to see so many parents and students at our workshop on Wednesday.

The slides from the presentation are attached below.

The workshop covered:

1. Knowing the brain – the secret to unlocking study success

   • What works, what doesn’t, and why

2. Knowing what to study and when

   • Internal or External?

   • Revision, study and homework – what’s the difference?

   • Long and short term lists

   • How to ensure all the right things are being covered and at the right time

3. Planning a study session

   • High reward strategies for getting the most out of your session

4. Supporting during the exam period

If you missed this workshop, there is an opportunity to attend an ‘express’ version on August 12 during tutor conferences.
