Easter revision courses

 

Project description

  • Many operators, including schools and tutorial colleges, offer Easter revision courses for GCSE, AS and A2 at a relatively high price.
  • It is perfectly possible, staff willing, to package one's own revision course at a fraction of the price.
  • At A level, for example, one can fill eight days in the Easter holidays, providing two days for each of four A level choices.
  • The course is easy to package as the school knows its own pupils.
  • Excellent progress is made with such a concentrated period of time on one subject. One full day is roughly equivalent to a week's contact time.
  • Remember to say, in setting this up, that the School has already covered the work and that Easter Revision Courses are not necessary for everybody.

Benefits

The aim is to avoid people failing; many pupils and staff have been nursed and improved to perform outstandingly well and to exceed expectations.
