What can I do to support my child at home?

  • Help students identify their 3 assessed practical activities and support practice opportunities at home.
  • Where 1 or more activities are ‘off-site’ (not covered in school), e.g. swimming supports the video recording of skills in isolation and condition practice (competition). Advice is provided by the department.
  • Encourage students to attend revision sessions at lunchtime and after school.
  • Ask students to explain what they have covered in class as this can help ‘internalise’ information.
  • Ensure homework on Google Classroom is completed.
