Vivek reminds parents of current students that the deadline for registering for lessons in the new academic year is Friday, 1st July. Vivek thanks our Weekday Receptionist Lucy for all her hard work over the last two weeks in organising two events. The second one of these took place yesterday - we were delighted to welcome 13 sets of parents to our 11+ Parents' Advice Evening, an event we aim to run three times a year. Finally, Vivek reminds all students to bring their water bottles to lessons in the coming weeks as summer temperatures soar.
Our Director of Studies Rebecca shares her recommendations of fun revision activities and techniques to break up the monotony of exam preparation - including blurting, recording voice memos, inventing mnemonics and defining the zone of relevance.
Wishing you a productive week!
