Final exam preparation

 

These classes are available to all GCSE PE pupils. They will need to bring their issued revision materials.

 

Those pupils who are under performing will be invited to these sessions via an individual intervention plan which will be shared with parents.

 

As well as these sessions, all pupils should be carrying out their own individual study using the materials they have been given. They should be taking their revision guides and exam booklets to every theory lesson in order to utilize them to their fullest extent.

 

Thank you
