Self Directed Study

There are a range of things you can do as Self Directed Study. 

• Have a study folder for each subject in your drive/or have a physical folder for each subject and some A4 paper for note taking. 
• Reflect on your knowledge/skills - what topics in specific subjects do you need to be more secure on?  What knowledge and skills do you need to develop and work on?  Work out your gaps. 
• Get to work independently trying to close those gaps in learning and knowledge.

You could use: 

• GCSE Pod - we have purchased this for students from Year 9 - Year 11. It's an excellent resource with thousands of videos that cover almost all topics, of almost all subject areas. 
• BBC Bitesize has resources for all subjects from Year 7 - Year 13.
• Seneca  -  free learning platform to support developing knowledge and understanding of a subject in greater depth. 
• Look at your GCSE Classroom tasks or exercise books - were there areas you were unsure about?  Do you need to do some additional research? 
• Massolit - we have purchased this for students - mainly for A Level but useful for GCSE too. Log in using your school e mail address.
• Look at your GCSE Classroom tasks or exercise books - were there areas you were unsure about?  Do you need to do some additional research?
