Academic Support
BOOSTER CLASSES
Our priority is making sure that all of our GCSE students have the right support and attention. That’s why we offer GCSE Booster Classes, at no additional cost, during lunchtime and after school.
In year 11 we also run Master Classes and Revision Workshops during the Easter Holidays, again at no additional cost to ensure that our Year 11’s are confident and well-prepared as they move into their external examination season.
WORK-RELATED LEARNING
Preparing our students with the skills and mindset for the modern workplace is one of our top priorities. We have developed a robust Business & Enterprise programme that includes access to ED Talks, Career Fairs, Business Conferences, and workplace visits, in addition to a one-week Work Experience Placement and longer internship opportunities.
We further support our young people through the development of their Digital Curriculum Vitae and Letters of Application, as well as honing their interview skills to ensure our applicants have the ‘Webber Edge’ when they go to their first choice post-16 destination. We have many clubs and societies that help build leadership and business skills, including the Young Entrepreneur’s Club, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and The Army Cadet Force.
STUDY SKILLS
Our Study Skills Programme is designed to give our students the confidence required to do well in their GCSEs. Our programme focuses on providing our young people with the skills and tools to aid with exam revision, which includes the development of a positive, resilient mindset and well-being habits. Additionally, we provide a personalised Gap Analysis with detailed feedback following the Mock Examinations, giving all of our student’s specific guidance on where next to apply their revision focus.
Past paper practice and detailed marketing feedback enable our young people to go into their examinations feeling well-prepared and confident.
Our dedicated team is here to make sure your child is well looked after and supported to achieve their best possible examination outcomes, so that one GCSE Results Day students, staff, and parents can be justly proud of the results of working in close partnership.
In partnership with Elevate Education, we run study skills workshops and seminars and give our students access to many online revision resources, apps, and platforms.
Year 9 to 11 parents are also invited to the Elevate Education Workshops to guide your child through their external examinations.
