Year 7s recently took part in Study Skills, working with teachers to prepare for exams. Read on to learn what two students report after their session.

"Last Monday Year 7 was lucky enough to have a Study Skills day to teach us skills to help with our exams. In House groups, we did rotations with different teachers. Each teacher prepared us with lots of useful tips. We took a quiz to find out what type of learner we are. We also received a study timetable to fill out to plan our week so that we are always prepared and have allocated enough study time for each subject in upcoming exams. We also learnt summarising and memorising skills. The Study Skills morning gave us some amazing and useful techniques to help us study and utilise our time effectively."

"Study skills day was very fun and helpful for me because with Mrs Foster we learnt how to organise a study timetable for each week, with Mr Grocott we learnt how to use Mathematical skills, with Mrs Smith we learnt skills to help memorise things and with Mrs Walker we learnt skills to help summarise information. We also completed a questionnaire which helped us understand what kind of learner we are."
