How Parents and Carers can help
  • Talk to your child about specific topics and where possible if it connects, make the links to real life. This will support empathy and values towards positive relationships.
  • Ask about homework, what needs to be completed /when does it need to be handed in etc
  • Print past exam papers and talk these through, they become ‘less scary’.
  • Use past papers to complete, followed by filling in gaps in a different colour when using a resource such as a textbook to help with filling in answers that students are stuck on.
