• Ensure your child attends school on time, 100% of the time.

• Talk to your child about what they are learning, and any homework or coursework they have to do

• Understand that all students fall behind, feel demotivated or overwhelmed and struggle with a work/life balance. When they do feel like this, talk to them, acknowledge their feelings and help to find a solution.

Practical support you can offer:

• Help them plan their revision and meet deadlines. The use of a revision timetable will be useful

• Encourage your child to have a clear goal by the end of their revision period – e.g. ‘At the end of this hour I will be able to…’

• Provide your child with a quiet place to study – preferably a place with a table and chair, where they will not be disturbed.

• Make sure they take regular breaks – for every twenty to forty minutes of revision students should have a ten-minute break to reset.

• Test your child on the work they have been revising. This will help them understand what they know and where they need to focus more attention

• Ensure that they eat healthy food and drink plenty of water – a balanced diet is just as important now as ever

• Ensure your child gets enough sleep.
