The Easter holiday is the last meaningful block of time before GCSE and A-level summer examinations. It is also the last opportunity to fix anything substantial. Pupils who arrive at the Easter break already in good shape can use it to sharpen technique and consolidate; pupils who arrive behind can still close real ground if revision is personalised.
Easter revision at Newbury Study Hall runs across the two weeks of the school holiday, with pupils choosing one week, two weeks, or particular days within both.
How the programme works
- Monday to Friday, three hours per subject per day
- 9am-12.30pm and/or 1.30pm-5.00pm
- Fifteen hours of tuition per subject per week
- Pupils may attend one subject or several
- Small groups of 3–4 (max 8)
- £600 per subject per week (£40 per hour)
- Suitable for pupils in Years 10–13
Two complementary weeks
Pupils may attend both weeks, for example using the first for content review (working systematically through any topic still uncertain) and the second for exam practice (full past papers under timed conditions, with the tutor present for marking and review).
This split — content first, technique second — is the structure that most reliably produces a grade or more of improvement between mocks and the real exam.
All tuition is tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed programme for everyone. With the tutor, the student can decide where best to focus.
Subjects
All subjects taught at Newbury Study Hall are available during Easter. The greatest interest generally falls on GCSE Maths, A-level Maths, and the sciences.
Booking
All individual needs can be discussed prior to booking. For Easter intensives it is advisable to enquire before February.
As well as intensive Easter revision programmes, Newbury Study Hall offers extra tuition throughout the academic year — after school, on Saturdays, during half terms, summer, for single terms & academic years.
