9th November 2010 - Study Skills and Exam Busters in North Shropshire...

Ellesmere College was a beautiful setting for an autumn day in early November.  The private education establishment welcomes students from all over the world.  The day started with Exam Busters to the whole of year 11, all of whom participated in all the activities and were extremely positive about the challenge laying ahead.  Students gave the following feedback;

"It was a fun exciting morning and a real help" - Berwyn

"It can help me with my revision a lot and it was fun" - Sam

After lunch, it was the turn of year 10 to work through Super Speed Study Skills, again showing genuine enthusiasm and maturity throughout.  Teacher Mr Coats commented, "This will help to improve study skills by using different means."  The students also commented;
