Easter Revision Course
Want to remove the stress from your revision?
With examination dates looming, students often find it difficult to revise effectively at home. At Monkton Combe School, our Easter Revision Courses provide a focused, supportive environment where students can build confidence, strengthen their subject knowledge and develop the examination techniques needed to achieve their potential.
Our courses are open to all students – you do not need to attend Monkton to take part.
Our experienced teachers understand the challenges that examinations place upon students and are on hand to offer individual guidance, encouragement and support. They will help students work through demanding topics, tackle difficult subject material and develop effective revision strategies.
The final weeks before examinations are a crucial period of preparation. Our Easter Revision Courses aim to give students that extra edge through concentrated study, small-group teaching, discussion and examination practice, delivered by experienced and successful teachers, many of whom have worked as examiners.
Whether students are looking to strengthen their understanding of a particular subject or focus on two areas of study, our programme offers a structured and productive approach to revision.
Why Choose Monkton Easter Revision?
Our programme offers the following advantages:
Expert tuition and individual guidance: Experienced teachers deliver focused revision tailored to students' specific learning needs and examination requirements.
Small class sizes: Average class sizes of 5–8 students, with a maximum of 10, ensuring individual attention throughout.
Effective revision techniques: Small-group revision helps students develop strategies for learning, time management, revision planning and problem-solving.
Personalised preparation: Before the course begins, students will be asked to identify areas and topics they would particularly like to focus on.
Flexible subject choices: Students can choose to study one or two subjects over the four-day programme.
A welcoming environment: Our courses bring together students from Monkton and other schools, providing an opportunity to learn alongside others preparing for their examinations.
Every effort is made to accommodate different examination boards and topic areas, although this may not always be possible for certain subjects.
Choose One or Two Subjects
Students can select a maximum of two subjects across the four-day programme.
One subject: Students attend either the morning or afternoon session each day, focusing on their chosen subject throughout the four days.
Two subjects: Students study one subject during the morning sessions and a second subject during the afternoon sessions, allowing for concentrated revision in both areas.
Morning sessions run from 9.00am to 12.00 noon, with afternoon sessions running from 1.00pm to 4.00pm.
Students attending both sessions will be provided with a nutritious lunch between lessons. Snacks and refreshments will also be available during breaks.
NEW FOR 2027 – Optional Residential Add-On
Make the most of your Easter Revision experience with a four-night stay at Monkton.
For students choosing to study two subjects, we are delighted to offer an optional residential package, providing the opportunity to stay at Monkton throughout the revision programme.
This is an additional option for students who would prefer the convenience of staying on site, removing the need for daily travel and allowing students to fully immerse themselves in their revision.
Students choosing the residential package can arrive at the Senior site from 7.00pm on Sunday 4th April 2027, giving them time to settle into their boarding accommodation, meet fellow students and familiarise themselves with the School before lessons begin on Monday morning.
What's Included in the Residential Add-On?
Four nights' accommodation: Sunday 4th to Thursday 8th April 2027, staying in one of Monkton's boarding houses.
Full catering: Breakfast, lunch and supper throughout the residential stay.
Evening activities: Provides opportunities to unwind and socialise after a productive day of revision.
A supportive boarding environment: Residential staff on hand to provide supervision and pastoral care.
Time to relax: A balanced experience combining focused academic study with opportunities for rest and recreation.
We recognise that effective revision requires a healthy balance between study and relaxation. Our residential programme provides students with a comfortable and supportive environment where they can concentrate on their examinations whilst enjoying the social aspects of boarding life.
Please note: The residential package is entirely optional and is available as an add-on for students booking two revision subjects. Students are equally welcome to attend both subjects as day students.
Residential places are subject to availability and will incur an additional charge.
