Recent Year 13 Speaker

October 3, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Townsend Sixth Form welcomed Dr Martijn van der Spoel from Glia Learning to talk to Year 13 about the importance of revision and give tips to students about how best they might revise, introducing new strategies and ideas along the way.

The Year 13s finished the session with renewed motivation and inspiration towards their studies, invigorated for the year ahead. Please discuss these strategies with your child at home.

Comments from students:

Amber ‘I learned to not follow my friends revision techniques as everyone learns differently’

Jocelyn ‘ The session has made me do some self reflection on revision technique’

Shammy ‘ It made me realise that I am teacher no 1’

Ruby – ‘ I found the session really inspirational, it was one of the best speakers we have had at the school’

Mr M Tominey
Head of Sixth Form
