The aims of the revision school
• Increase confidence of the participants
• Identify areas of weakness and build on them
quickly by tracking back.
• To support and develop children's ability to
problem solve.
• To give children the opportunity to learn 1-2-1,
small groups and in larger groups using the
learners as leaders.
• To try something different!

The Planning Process
• 1 day in each school working with 10 pupils.
• 1 day follow up to analyse knowledge and
understanding.
• 2 x meetings with staff to plan, discuss tasks,
structure etc.
• 1x parental meeting/opportunity for children to
meet their tutors.

• Maths Dictionary – children to research key
vocabulary which will unlock learning. Children to
record definitions, diagrams etc which will help
learning.

Encouraging Parents/Carers to continue the
support
• Meetings at school pre revision school – clear
commitment expectations.
• Reflection at the end of each day – via the diary
with what the pupil is committing to do. What
support would they like from home.
• Success Assembly at the end.

Impact
• Confidence
Many of the children were lacking confidence in
their mathematical ability before the revision
school.
Children were then asked to show their
confidence before and after.

So what did the children say?
“Really happy, have learnt lots of new things and
I am now more confident and it has helped me a
lot with my maths. “
“I feel like I have achieved I can do a lot more
things, like percentages and fractions”
“Helping me with my maths”
“Sometimes I get mixed up ….. it helped”
