Study Skills Workshops

Years 7 and 8 were immersed in study skills today to help them develop effective habits for revision and learning, with workshops run by Innerdrive, a mindset coaching company.

Year 8’s workshop ‘Studying with the Brain in Mind’, focussed on helping pupils to get the most out of their brain during revision time with lots of practical tips based on years of cognitive psychology and neuroscience research. Through an understanding of how the brain works, the workshop helped the pupils to understand how to use it more efficiently.

The Year 7 pupils’ workshop was all about focus and maintaining concentration. As well as looking at the challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of staying focused, it also gave them strategies to stay focused on the right thing at the right time and to improve their attention.

We also welcomed parents to a workshop on ‘Helping Your Child To Flourish’ so that they can support their children and help to embed these habits.
