We asked them for any advice they would like to pass on to next year's students and they were more than happy to share their thoughts.

“Throughout Years 10 and 11, I attended Maths interventions and Maths after-school club. This has really helped me, as I was able to ask specific questions to my teachers, which improved my performance in exams and gave me the skills to succeed.” Hemanti.S

“The advice I would give myself a year ago is to find the perfect balance between relaxing and studying. I feel that the exams I have taken so far have gone nearly perfectly, mostly because of the help and materials I have received in class, Saturday schools, and interventions. Jump at every opportunity to gain new knowledge and trust the process.” Tomas.M

“I would tell my Year 10 self that there is plenty of time to improve. With interventions and effective revision, any grade is possible. Trust the process, start now, and GCSEs will be a breeze. Teachers are there for support—use them. Ask questions, practice essays, and attend interventions.” Angelica.S

“A year ago, I would have started revising earlier, especially in Chemistry and English. So far, despite being challenging, the exams have been alright and well worth the effort. I feel I am building my confidence after every exam. The revision interventions are well put together.” Oliver.T
