STUDY SKILLS

Study skills are an integral part of the content of all subjects and are constantly taught, revised and practised in class. Each subject undertakes a programme of study skills particular to that area of study, including:

• note-making;
• summarising;
• vocabulary learning techniques;
• examination preparation.

A programme of formal study skills for Year 11 students is highlighted during form meeting time, daily. Within Tutor Groups, Form Tutors are involved in on-going programmes of review of student progress, group activities addressing study skill problems, individual counselling and advice.

Stage Handbooks for all students contain comprehensive material relating to study skills appropriate to each year group.
