The revision / intervention sessions over Whitsun were better attended this year compared to last year.  The students were more responsive to the tasks that were delivered over two days; day 1 (paper 1) and day 2 (paper 2). Over 300 students enrolled onto the Revision Google Classroom site

Revision guides (paper-based) went down well with most students.

The weekly intervention sessions were better attended compared to last year.  Students brought revision guides with them to these sessions.

Despite some staffing difficulties, the department has worked together to overcome issues - i.e. mopping up on marking and IV-ing with previously unmarked FS papers.
