As the Year 11 exams are approaching, the school mental health team would like to share with you some helpful tips and advice around managing student stress and wellbeing during this period.
Please find linked here, a copy of a presentation delivered by Miss Newton for Year 11 students, aimed at highlighting coping skills that may be useful throughout the exam period. This presentation will be shared during Form time for Year 11 and we hope can be a valuable tool of reference for parents also.
Revision timetables can be useful to help alleviate any anxiety around revision planning. A blank revision template can be found on our KS4 revision webpage here and hard copies are available in Student Services should students prefer these.
