Yes, just 24 weeks! Shock I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to do my level best, to support and encourage DD to achieve great things.

These are the plans we have.

We have left the first six weeks of term, to settle in again and work out where we need some home support. Now the hard work begins!

We have the work books from school. We have the power to bring home plenty of passed papers, thanks to me working at a secondary school and we have the power to get all A* - C grades!!

Monday's are designated English, Tuesday is Maths & Science, Wednesday is French and Thursday is French.

We're going to make flash cards, with equations, formulae and other maths rules on them. And the same for other subjects, like key words for French and Geography.

We have identified areas that need extra attention, by doing some pass papers and we are going back to basics to get them to go in and stay in!

Sooo, do you have any other top tips to share or would you just like to join my quest to guide our yr 11's to a bright future!

Ours works differently to yours. Daughter has Maths next week, so her revision is almost over (although will have to stay topped up in case she doesn't get the grade she wants) . Then comes Science modules - three after Christmas. So lots of current revision for those once the Maths is over. The rest of the time she is working on current home works as she cannot revise yet, she hasn't completed a lot of the courses themselves. Languages and English are ongoing anyway because of the ongoing assessments they get.

For her it's a case of ticking off as many exam grades as she can and revising for the rest from February half term.
