End of Year Assessment Weeks – Townsend Church of England School

This term all students in Year 7, 8, 9, 10 & 12 will have End of Year assessment weeks.

Students will have tests in all subjects and their subject teachers will advise on when these test are and what they will be tested on. Students will be given guidance on how to revise in Year Assemblies next week and in lessons.

Assessment Weeks are:

Year 7: 6th- 9th May

Year 8: 2nd- 6th June

Year 9: 16th- 20th June

Year 10: 23rd- 27th June

Year 12: 23rd- 27th June

There are many ways to prepare for tests, but the main point is that students learn key words and facts from memory, then practise using this knowledge. Students need to READ their lesson notes on Showbie and in their books, REDUCE the information to notes, REMEMBER them (using mind maps or writing notes out again), REHEARSE their knowledge in practice questions, and then REPEAT with another topic. REVISITING notes regularly helps information to be memorised.

Good luck with the revision!
