Year 11

At The Ramsey Academy, we want to encourage students to become increasingly more self-regulated, especially during study sessions they may organise and participate in at home. We want all students to be confident in implementing a range of effective independent study strategies, understanding the impact this time can have on the progress they make. Independent studying can be daunting, but we want students to be enthusiastic, empowered and independent, enabling a life-long approach to learning which allows them to achieve excellence. 

In order to support students with revision, a blank timetable can be found here.  

At The Ramsey Academy, we encourage students to independently study using four strategies. They are: 

• Self-quizzing
• Flashcards
• Knowledge dumps
• Deliberate practice 

Information on each of these strategies can be found here.  

Below you will find a series of videos which model how students can successfully implement the strategies above. 

The Department for Education has produced a guide on how GCSE grades are arrived at. Please click here to see the presentation.
