ACTIVE REVISION
Easter GCSE revision courses
At Gordonstoun, we believe that active bodies equal active minds.
Active Revision is a 5 day GCSE revision course held on campus during the Easter holidays.
It combines expert-led revision sessions with physical activities designed to stimulate the brain and body, increasing learning potential and memory.
Why Active Revision
at Gordonstoun
As pioneers of character education, Gordonstoun asks students to live up to the school motto: Plus est en Vous – there is more in you.
This course helps students discover that there is more inside all of us. To feel more fully prepared - mentally, emotionally and physically - and consequently to improve their GCSE grades in the summer.
And it works. In previous years, there has been a noticeable improvement in the subject areas studied on this course.
From last year's course...
- 68% of students who say they use exercise to help manage stress, say the technique is very or extremely effective.
- The majority of Active Revision students achieved results that were at least a grade higher than their mock exams, with one student achieving 6 grades higher!
- There was a noticeable improvement in the subject areas which students studied on the course, in comparison with the subjects which they did not.
