A Level courses for Year 13 students and GCSE courses for Year 11 students

We organise Easter Revision Courses to assist students who would benefit from extra tuition over the holidays.  We have been running these courses for over 20 years, with overwhelmingly favourable feedback from participants.   The courses are available to RGS students and also to students from other schools.  The following subjects will be available:

A Level Subjects (Year 13 Students)

Mathematics, Physics (Week 2 only), Chemistry, Biology, Economics (Week 2 only)

GCSE Subjects (for Year 11 Students)

Mathematics, Level 2 Further Mathematics, English Language, English Literature, French, Spanish, History, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography, German

The courses will take place at RGS on Monday 7 April to 10 Thursday April and 14 Monday April to 17 Thursday April 2025, and the study time will be 22 hours during each four days.  The classes will be very intensive and examination-orientated, combining lectures, workshop sessions and examination practice.  The fee for four days is £640, and for all eight days £1280.

The maximum group size will be nine, although groups may well be considerably smaller.  There will be more than one group for subjects in high demand.  For A Level subjects, students select one subject for the whole four days, so students can study two subjects over the two weeks.  In the case of GCSE subjects, students choose one subject per day.  Typically, students register for a four-day course or for both weeks, up to a maximum total of eight subjects.  It is possible to register for fewer than four days in a week, but for timetabling reasons, it might not be possible to specify particular days out of the four.  Sciences are studied as individual subjects, so all three sciences will require three days.   Each day’s classes begin at 9am and end at 4.30pm.

We have found that students benefit enormously from a concentrated period of revision, free from distractions and in the company of similar students.  The opportunity to focus on particular areas of difficulty in small groups is especially useful.

If you would like to register for the course, or if you would like further information, please contact me via the school or directly via email.

Please note that you need to print off the registration form, before scanning it to my e mail, or drop the forms at Reception and pay for the course to ensure a place.
