- Focused revision sessions in the spring term
- Teaching test techniques and time management
- Building confidence and resilience
- Maintaining a balanced, broad curriculum
Supporting your child at home

- Maintain routines - ensure good sleep, healthy meals, and time to relax
- Encourage reading - this supports all areas of learning
- Practice times tables and mental maths - little and often works best
