Kingswood run revision weekends at a cost of £50 per pupil for the whole weekend - amazing value. They provide the extreme activities and a classroom/ learning space. I have put together the maths part to suit the pupils. Along with a place on the weekend I have purchased pupils mathletics accounts (using their catch up premium money).The trip is fully funded through catch up premium. Pupils earn their places by completing weekly challenges on mathletics.
Attached is the powerpoint from the parents evening showing the outline for the weekend. When we return I will post on it's success/areas for improvement.
Every student is paired with a mentor for the weekend, the year 9 supports the year 7 in all the maths sessions and they work together in the extreme activities.
Following diagnostic tests of the year 7's the focus for the weekend is core number skills. I will post the resources and photo's when we return.
