Blast your mocks!! GCSE maths October half term revision sessions.
Student performance in year 11 mock exams can have a significant impact. The grades achieved by students will be discussed in their college applications and may also have a bearing on the tier of entry in the summer exam (Foundation or Higher).
To help students maximise their mock grade, we are running revision classes over the October half term. Our adult to child ratio is maximum 1 to 5 to ensure students have all the help and support they need to progress.
​
2 hour sessions run over 5 days with a focus on different areas of the curriculum. Each session targets the topics that students find particularly challenging, but are key to both Foundation and Higher papers. The sessions will target content specifically for students aiming for grades 4 to 6 with input from a maths teacher and follow up exam practice questions.
Sessions will run at The Learning Room each morning from 9.30am to 11.30am. The two hour session will cost £60 and parents who book all 5 days will receive 1 day free.
