Year 11 GCSE Breakfast Revision Sessions

Dear Purbeck families,

As we approach the GCSE examination period that starts next week, we are pleased to offer GCSE Breakfast Revision Sessions to support students on the mornings of their exams.

These sessions will run from 08:00 to 08:30 on the day of each GCSE exam – see schedule and rooming above. They are designed to provide students with a calm, focused start to the day, including light, targeted revision and the opportunity to ask last‑minute questions in a supportive environment.

To help students feel settled and energised, the school canteen will be providing free tea and toast (or a suitable alternative) to all students who attend.

If you are unable to drop your child off before this time, then please don’t worry. Students using school transport should still join the sessions and will still benefit from the revision and refreshments available.

We strongly encourage students sitting GCSE examinations to take advantage of these sessions, as they can help boost confidence and readiness before exams begin.

If you have any questions about your child’s GCSE exams, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Carl Morris

Deputy Headteacher

The Purbeck School
