Revision Courses

Collingham offers special Revision Courses to help students in the run-up to January and summer examinations. These are designed to address students’ needs and concerns, including revision of key subject areas, practice in answering exam-style questions and training in exam technique. Small groups mean that individual concerns are covered, and intensive tuition by specialist tutors, many of whom are examiners for the Boards, helps to develop confidence.

Details of our December courses will be posted here later in the year and in the meantime, here's feedback from students who recently attended our Easter Revision courses:
