English grade booster session for Pontarddulais school


Updated 15/12/2014

A group of More Able and Talented (MAT) pupils from Pontarddulais School attended a twilight class at Gorseinon recently to boost their grade in English in their forthcoming GCSE exam.

The highly successful grade booster session is part of the Reaching Wider programme and provides pupils with effective revision strategies to improve their performance. The session was aimed at pupils hoping to achieve an A or A* in their examination in January.

The staff at Pontarddulais were very grateful for the opportunity and were encouraged to see their pupils with a positive attitude to revision after completing a day of mocks in school. We are extremely grateful to Elizabeth Edwards for delivering the after-school class.

The college's grade booster programme has recently been used as a case study of good practice in HEFCW's Widening Access: Delivering for Wales publication.
