Specialism Success Congratulations to the March students who have been named linguist of the month.

Parents As Partners As the exam season is approaching and our students are preparing for A-Level and GCSE exams here is a tip to help your son/daughter in their preparation: Use Mind Maps to Connect Ideas If you find it difficult to remember tons of new study notes, Mind Maps may be the key to improving your memory. The theory behind mind mapping explains that making associations by connecting ideas helps you to memorise information easier and quicker. There are much more benefits to using Mind Maps for learning including being able to map out your curriculum, develop GCSE concepts in-depth and create sample exam answers.
