Description

ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE

The conference is a fully interactive day which has a proven track record of boosting students’ attainment in their OCR GCSE PE exams. The conference, as always, promises to be enriching, stimulating and informative, and will give focus to the key points students need to demonstrate in examinations as well as the basics of how to prepare for and sit the examination.

A key focus, as ever, will be how to move your grade to the next level in the theory exams: specific focus on things that ‘trip you up’ and how to approach the extended 6- and 9-mark questions to maximise the potential for all students of achieving highest marks possible.

KEY FOCUS AREAS

• Students will take away a comprehensive set of revision notes which can be used for exam preparation.
• Teachers will receive the full conference presentations and follow-on materials after the conference as electronic resources.
