KS3 Exam Preparation
At Castle Mead Academy, we believe that everyone is capable of excellence. We strive for every scholar to understand the science of learning and to feel confident in working independently both inside and outside of the classroom, which is an essential skill for homework, revision, and for life in general.
Therefore, through their lessons and homework, you learn a variety of revision strategies to support your development as an independent learner.
