Dear Parent/Carer
Subject Support Sessions to improve examination success
Your child’s exam success is very important to us at Gosford Hill School. Teaching staff run a number
of GCSE and A Level subject support sessions which run in lunch times and after school. These
sessions will be a combination of coursework support and catch up, additional tutorials and revision.
Enclosed is our list of subject support sessions for Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) and Sixth-form.
In order to help and guide students to make the most of these sessions the attached overview
summarises key modular exam dates and which subjects should take priority in the run up to exams.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.
Yours sincerely
