Revision

Supporting successful revision strategies

At Fitzharrys, we want to equip students with everything they need to do their very best in exams, and our aim is to ensure students feel confident that they know what and how to revise for all their subjects.  We also want to empower parents and carers with knowledge on how to best support their children through this time, giving them everything they need to ensure that their children are revising effectively. 

At this potentially stressful time, we know it is essential that young people’s wellbeing is supported.  Fitzharrys School aims to ensure all stakeholders to have access to wellbeing advice and related resources in order to foster resilience and protect mental health. 

Successful students work hard during this period, both in the run up to and during exams.  Concerted efforts in subject revision together with the employment of wider revision strategies will set students up with the best chance of achieving all they are capable of.  Ultimately, students, and parents and carers, should finish this process with a sense of integrity and confidence that they have done everything in their power to enable successful GCSEs.

As well as informing students, parents, and carers about the practicalities and logistics of the GCSE season, this webpage contains a wealth of useful information and expertise on maximising revision and on supporting wellbeing.  We hope that you find our resources beneficial.
