Engage, motivate and focus your students; the importance of revision residentials

With exam season fast approaching, the pressure is on for both you and your pupils to get results, whether it be for SATs, GCSEs or A-Level exams. A revision residential is a great opportunity to prepare pupils for the intense exam period. With our unique combination of revision and activities, Conway Centre revision weekends help keep your students focussed, grow their confidence and reduce stress.

 

Revision Facilities

The Conway Centre, Anglesey provides the perfect space away from all of the usual pressures and distractions back in school or at home; social media, games consoles, television and more.

Instead, pupils can benefit from the change of environment in one of our on-site classrooms, whether it be for teacher-led revision sessions, group revision sessions, or individual study time.

 

Balanced and stimulating activities

Spreading revision out can lead to more effective study, which is why we provide adventure activities in-between study sessions – to give students the opportunity to let off steam, unwind and then return to the classroom feeling refreshed and ready to hit the textbooks.

The Conway Centre, Anglesey offers over 50 different activities to develop a range of skills, from boosting motivation and confidence, to strengthening relationships and problem solving. Whether you want to encourage a sense of self-confidence and mindfulness through Yoga and Wellbeing sessions, or take students’ teamworking skills to new heights with our High Ropes course, our team can help you build a balanced and stimulating programme matched to your outcomes.
