Year 11 Resource Bank

Dear Year 11,

We understand that this period is particularly challenging for you as a year group. Having worked so hard in preparation for your exams, it was disappointing and demotivating to learn that they would be cancelled. We are proud of how you’ve adapted to the new situation. We are impressed with all those of you who have taken steps to ensure your happiness and success in September, by finalising applications for post-GCSE courses, and we are impressed with those of you who have continued to work on your studies and produce high quality work – and some of you who’ve gone above and beyond in starting to prepare work for your A Level courses. You have demonstrated excellent responsibility by respecting the rules of the lockdown and staying at home.

We do however recognise that remaining motivated without having exams around the corner and without teacher time during lessons is tough. We still want you to engage your brains and continue to nurture growth and learning, but we recognise that this won’t look the same as it would do if you were revising for your GCSEs. As a team of tutors and staff, who know you well and who care about you profoundly, we’ve put together these resources, which you should use in addition to the Half Term 5 study pack you received last week.

While lockdown lasts, we have more time than we might normally have had to pursue personal interests and hobbies, to learn new things, develop new skills. This resource booklet should provide some guidance for how best to do that.

All the very best wishes,

Ms Davey and the Year 11 team Steps to staying sane during lockdown:

1. Maintain a good daily routine – go to bed before midnight and wake up in the morning. You don’t have to be up at the time you would do if you were coming to school, but daylight hours are good for your wellbeing 2. Eat three meals a day, unless you’re fasting, to help structure the day and keep your blood sugar levels under control 3. Plan your time. You should have different elements in your day: time for school work (3-5 hours per day), time for interests or hobbies, and time for wellbeing (which includes daily exercise). Use the timetable template below to help you. 4. Manage the time you spend on your phone carefully – it’s good to stay connected with your friends, but spending too much time on your phone isn’t productive, and won’t give you a sense of achievement at the end of the day 5. Read your tutors’ lockdown life hacks on the next page, for some top tips on how to stay sane!
