Academic Productivity How do you use your time efficiently and effectively to make the most progress with your school work? Time: how much? Tasks: which activities work best?
Habits Of High Achieving Pupils • All describe a routine • Spend at least 2 hours each night revising • Work in blocks of time • Reading plays a part…somewhere • Don’t use social media whilst studying • Take advantage of the after school support being provided • Attend the holiday interventions • Complete homework and meet deadlines • Parents attend to a) practicalities and b) ‘smooth the way’
How Can Parents/Carers Help? • Patience • Encourage & listen • Keep form tutor informed • Two hours independent study • Homework - please check that your child is using their planner and completing homework on time • Arrange medical and dental appointments outside of school time
