Sherborne International

For over 30 years, Sherborne International has been empowering students to excel in their exams through our successful Spring Revision Courses.
These courses are designed to increase the knowledge and exam confidence of students preparing for GCSE and IGCSE or A level examinations and is open to both native and non-native speakers, with both day and boarding options available.
Students choose 3 subjects to focus on for each week of the course they sign up for, and we tailor the lessons to match their examination board, for a total of 30 lessons each week - 10 hours per subject.
A level students are able to study fewer subjects per week by choosing the supervised study option on the booking form and fees are then adjusted accordingly.

Personalised Preparation:
Prior to the course, we ask all students to provide detailed information about their exams, predicted grades, specific areas for focus, bring their notes and files, and inform us of any learning challenges or Examination Access Arrangements (EAAs). This allows us to tailor classes and content to individual needs as well as make the necessary adjustments.

Expert-Led & Results-Driven:
Students benefit from our experienced educators who consolidate knowledge, clarify key topics, and tackle problem areas. Continuous testing and personalised feedback are integral to developing exam techniques. Students consistently report a significant increase in confidence, a clearer understanding of subject matter, and a tangible improvement in their exam prospects. This intensive programme provides a valuable academic boost at a pivotal stage in their educational journey.

Class sizes are small, so students benefit from significant individual attention compared to their regular schools.

Tailored Support Across Exam Boards
Our teachers are adept at navigating the nuances between various exam boards.
• Sciences and Mathematics: For subjects, such as these, with only minor syllabus and question type differences, our teachers cater to all students, highlighting key variations and providing exam board-specific practice questions.
• Geography: We cover topics common to all GCSE/IGCSE specifications, including the Physical Environment, the Human Environment, and Geographical Skills and Fieldwork. Time will also be allocated for individual case studies.
• English Literature: This module provides an unparalleled opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of both literature papers. Sessions focus on all assessment objectives and the skills necessary for higher grades. Students receive specific input for all core texts, and we foster an interactive environment for individual questions. We also dedicate time to improving essay writing skills and crafting effective responses across all genres.
• History: We request that topics are submitted in advance to tailor precisely classes to individual needs. A focus for all will be mastering exam technique and crafting high-quality responses.
