Revision Techniques
Effective Study Habits
When students are working independently on things like homework, long-term study or revision we want them to focus their efforts on the right strategies, the ones that really work. There are some clear strategies that work and there are some which, whilst reassuring to pupils, actually have very little impact on long term retention of important knowledge or understanding.
To help our pupils and parents understand the most effective strategies and ensure that time is used effectively when students are working on homework or revision, we have created some video guides on the most effective study habits that we know from research and experience really make a difference.
We hope you find these videos useful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
