“We know from neuroscience that exercise speeds up brain functioning. If you’ve been out for a run, your reading speed and comprehension goes up by 20%. Interspersing study with exercise also helps encourage reflection, which speeds up learning by promoting synaptical connections in the brain. And perhaps most importantly, exercise is a stress-buster when the pressure of revision gets too much ”

GCSE REVISION
at Gordonstoun

At Gordonstoun we know how to look after and bring out the best in people, and both students and staff daily live up to the school motto: Plus est en Vous – there is more in you.

This Revision Course aims to help students to find that extra bit inside, to feel more fully prepared mentally, emotionally and physically, and consequently improve on their GCSE grades in the summer.
