Dear Parents and Carers of Y10 students,
My name's Andrew and I work at a company called Action Your Potential. I had the privilege of working with Y10 students at PCS on Tuesday 21st June and I was really impressed with all of them, what a great bunch of young people.
We talked to the students about their incredible brains and how they work and how to get the most out of it every day. Below you'll find videos below that walk you through the details of the study habits we taught the students to help them build great long-term memory to support their GCSEs. When we work with our brain's memory systems we can learn more and remember more.
These videos walk you through the study habit - the what, why and how of it. We are writing to your parents and carers too.
