Deciding what route to take after GCSEs can be stressful for both young people and parents/carers.  There are a number of options available: 6th form, college, apprenticeship and employment.

Revision

During Year 11, it can be difficult to know how best to support your child and revision can be one of the hardest things for them.  DSPL7  created a number of resources for young people to use in Year 11 (or if retaking in Year 12) for the core subjects of English, Maths and Science.  All of the resources are free to access and provide their brains with different ways to practise what they need to know - videos, quizzes, podcast, past paper questions and more.

Remember to check the school 'online classroom' (e.g Google Classroom, Teams) for the many resources that teachers will have shared. Going through it with them and printing out useful resources can be really helpful. Also check with school about subscriptions that they have for online resources.  These have been specially designed to be useful for revision.  Help your young person to choose a variety of tasks to 'trick' their brain into the necessary repetition to make information 'stick'.
