Our Trust of Schools

Year 11 Information

The final year of school is both exciting and challenging for year 11 students. Our aim is to ensure that our students are as prepared as they can be for their final exams and leave us ready for their next step and optimistic about their future opportunities. 

 

On this page you will find information that will help you prepare with your child for their next steps. There are exam timetables, revision tips and advice and notices that are specific to Y11. We will continue to update this page with useful information as the year unfolds. 

 

We thank you for your ongoing support of year 11 students and recognise that while this can be a time of excitement and anticipation, for some it can also be a time of uncertainty. Therefore, we also include links to mental health support and pastoral support, should your child wish to access this. 

Support available to you.

Science Revision

Below is a weekly revision plan that will support your revision in the lead up to the GCSE exams. For each week there is a written revision resource (e.g. BBC Bitesize), a video revision resource, and some exam questions with the mark scheme so you can self-assess your work. Use the suggested revision activities below to revise these topics.

You should choose the resource that suits your revision style best (video or written) and then use this to help you complete the revision activities & exam questions. You will need to be signed into your SJ Google Account to access some of the exam questions.

This revision plan is in addition to your Sparx Science homework and is designed to help structure your independent revision at home.

As we approach the exams, the expectation is that you are doing a minimum of 1 hour per week independent revision. This has been split into 20 minutes biology, 20 minutes chemistry and 20 minutes physics. You may want to do more than this. This list is not exhaustive, you may need to revise other topics that are not on this list. Use your yellow target sheets to help identify the areas to focus your revision. As you get close to the exams, you may want to prioritise the upcoming exam, but don’t forget to keep revising the other subjects! The paper the content appears in (P1 or P2) is indicated in the table.

If you are doing higher tier, ensure you are covering the indicated higher tier content. If you are doing separate science, you will also need to revise the additional separate science content.

Please remember you should also be using some of the below strategies to revise for your GCSEs.

  • Read, Cover, Write, Check,
  • Flashcards
  • Mind maps
  • Setting yourself extra Sparx Science quizzes
  • Science Google Classroom (code l3jo3dh)

If you need support with any revision strategies, please speak to your Science teacher.
