The Grange School offers a comprehensive package of study support to our students, which includes the following:

SCHOOL LIBRARY SUPPORT

The School Library supports all students and staff by providing resources both for individual study and classroom work. We encourage all our students to read widely, which is important for literacy skills.

The Library is open from 8.30 am – 4.00 pm daily. Students are able to use the Library before and after school, break and lunchtimes for study/research and to complete and print homework.

We run a series of Library Lessons for Year 7 students, to guide them on how the Library is set-up and how to search for books in both the fiction and non-fiction shelves. 

Our library has a dedicated Sixth Form Study area for quiet study throughout the day. This section contains a wide variety of curriculum-based reference books and classic novels as well as University Prospectuses and Careers and Apprenticeship information.

AFTER SCHOOL, LUNCHTIME AND HOLIDAY REVISION SESSIONS

Throughout the academic year, sessions are scheduled after school, at lunchtimes and during the holidays to support students with their studies. 

We have Easter Revision sessions each year for Year 11 and Year 13 students. 

For our Year 11 students we have revision sessions running for them while they are on study leave for their Summer Examinations.

We also offer a quiet study space for revision as per this timetable. 

We also have sessions running over the Summer Half-Term for both Year 11 and Year 13. 

All dates and information for these sessions will be published on this page when available. 

 

STUDY SKILLS SESSIONS

Homework is valued as an important way to reinforce key knowledge and skills. It provides the opportunity to extend creativity and problem solving. It is aimed at students of any ability, including those for whom English is not their first language, and those requiring additional support with their learning. Computers and printers are available for all students to use during these sessions. There are three members of staff supervising the sessions which take place from 3pm until 4pm Monday to Friday. Please see the Extra Curricular Timetable for session details.

LEARNING EVENINGS

During the course of the year we offer a range of Learning Evenings, where parents/carers are invited to join us (usually with their son or daughter if they wish) for advice, information and ideas on how to support students with different aspects of their learning.  The following events are scheduled for this academic year.

  • Year 7 Evening –  Meet your child’s Form Tutor and find out about we study for Literacy and Numeracy.
  • Year 10 and 11 Learning Evening – Ideas for how to support students with revision in the run up to GCSEs.

The resources that we share at these events will be posted below as the sessions happen:

At our Year 11 Learning Evening we shared a PowerPoint presentation as well as Exam Revision Guide with some helpful tips for students and parents and carers.

In addition, the Support for Learning Department also offers a comprehensive package of support.
