How to revise and retain information is a key skill which every student needs to gain, particularly when new GCSE specifications require learners to be able to retain large quantities of information. Considering this we want to equip students with the skills to revise as early as possible, so they do not become overwhelmed when starting their GCSE’s.

Students in year 7, 8 and 9 will be issued a knowledge organiser termly. Within the Knowledge Organiser is the key information students need to know about their core curriculum areas. Students should try and learn the knowledge within the organiser, using the strategies as outlined in their booklets e.g mind maps/flashcards or summaries. Students must bring their Knowledge Organiser to school every day and take it home every evening. Each student will be issued with a Knowledge Organiser and home learning exercise book to record their home learning.
