English 'Big Lecture' Revision Session

Last week, Year 11 students took part in a dynamic ‘Big Lecture’ led by the English department, as part of their ‘Big Lecture Series’, delivering focussed revision strategies for each unit of their English Language and English Literature GCSEs. This week’s focus was An Inspector Calls, where the students' experimented with topic-specific revision techniques and were given practical strategies to enhance their confidence as they approach the summer exams.

Mrs Boorman, Head of English, who ran this weeks’ sessions said: ‘The launch of our 'Big Lecture Series' is a unique and significantly impactful offering from the English department in terms of exam and revision support. Students leave these sessions with personal revision priorities, supporting resources and most importantly a clear path through their English revision. Year 11 conducted themselves excellently on Monday and we look forward to hosting this event for them again each week before their exams.’

Students have been directed to department resources for revision, most significantly; https://chartersengdept.tumblr.com/, Student SharePoint – English- Y11 revision files and Massolit but were also given printed resources to take away with them. 

Mrs Boorman and Mr Wright would also like to give a huge ‘thank you’ to the whole English team, who have spent many hours putting these resources together for our students and for supporting the students in the sessions.
