Year 11 GCSE Support
Revision Tips and Resources
In order to help students (and parents) through the GCSE examinations period our teachers have created a number of resources. They cover revision techniques, planning your time, subject content information, exam board details and recommended revision guides.
It’s never too early to start preparing, so please click on the links below to access the help and advice.
We have created the following worksheet to offer advice on how to manage the exam period.

Intervention
- Intervention will be offered to students on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3.15 to 4.15pm.
- Students have been allocated to particular subjects based on their most recent mock examination results, focusing on those with the biggest gap currently.
- Intervention timetables will be changed following the December mock examinations, to align with current working grades and their subject area of most need.
- We strongly advise that students attend intervention in order to maximise their contact time with subject teachers.
- Intervention is an opportunity for students, and therefore any student who is deemed to be disruptive to the learning and progress of others will be asked to leave.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding intervention, please do not hesitate to contact Emma Rudd (Head of Year 11): e.rudd@paca.uk.com
