GGS Thinking Week 2025

For the third year running, GGS has run "Thinking Week" with exam classes. Over the course of the week, students are exposed to a vast array of subject-specific revision strategies. In each subject, students are given a variety of cognitive strategies to support them in revising for their exams. These are tailored to each subject, and students are given the opportunity to trial and evaluate different approaches in order to identify what works best for them.

Following the January Trial Exams, many students are keen to better understand the process of revision in the run-up to the Summer. For each subject, a strategy sheet is available that outlines the approaches. Additionally, they have also received advice from their subject teachers on what works best for different types of content. Parents and students can access the strategy sheets using the QR code. JMW
