Burlington House School’s Post

In a year-group of almost 140 pupils, this level of consistency (in terms of excellence of results) is remarkable and I am starting to get an idea of the extraordinary levels of care and support for both individuals and also small groups of pupils that have made it all possible. Lots of incredible personal stories of resilience in the face of challenge and tragedy too. In short, amazing statistics/'data' on a collective level but amazing stories at a 'human' level too.

Since GCSE exams are looming, it is time to explain my story... I struggled with my GCSE exams. Although my predicted grades were high, my results were average. I left some of my exams thinking I could have done better, and I regretted not being organised with my revision. After completing my bachelor's degree, I founded GCSE Catch Up. I incorporated my past experiences and feedback received from teachers to build this platform. The mission? To create an affordable solution that could replicate the effectiveness of private tuition without the need for 1-to-1 teaching. Something I wished I had access to when I was in year 11, six years ago. GCSE Catch Up is offering all year 11 students free exam preparation lessons by our tutors from May 1st until June 13th—a minimum of three preparation lessons per core GCSE exam. I don't want any Year 11 students to leave the exam hall with regret like I did. Do you? Offer your students our tutor-taught exam prep lessons for free - no strings attached.

Are you familiar with GCSE? The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is a widely recognized examination in the UK, typically taken by students at the age of 14-16 during Years 10 and 11 of secondary school. It serves as an academic qualification, covering various subjects, and examinations are traditionally held in the summer of Year 11. GCSEs are a standard assessment system in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, while schools in Scotland administer Scottish GCSEs.

Today marks the start of a busy period for our GCSE and A Level students as they launch into two intense weeks of mock exams. Functioning as a practice run for the final exams, these test papers are done under real examination conditions. They enable students to get a feel for the kinds of questions to expect in their official exams, how much time they have to answer them and how stress and nerves can affect their performance. In addition to highlighting their strengths, mock exams allow students to identify the areas that they need to work on, which they can then revise both individually and with the help of their teachers. #exams #GCSE #ALevel
