GCSE/IGCSE and A level Spring Revision Course
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful revision experience our son had! He truly loved those two weeks and found them very helpful. He said all the staff and teachers were fantastic too! *from student feedback survey
For over 30 years, Sherborne International has been empowering students to excel in their exams through our highly 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.
Personalised Preparation:
Prior to the course, we ask all students to provide detailed information about their exams, predicted grades, specific areas for focus, and any learning challenges. This allows us to tailor classes and content to individual needs.
Expert-Led & Results-Driven:
Students benefit from our experienced educators who thoroughly consolidate knowledge, clarify key topics, and effectively tackle specific problem areas. Continuous testing and personalised feedback are integral to developing crucial exam techniques. While the course demands dedication, 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.
This course will be ideal for students who:
- Want to achieve their potential examination results in their chosen subject
- Want to learn important revision techniques
For students who board a weekend excursion to a nearby attraction and a full programme of sports and evening activities are included.

Tailored Support Across Exam Boards
Our experienced 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, covering Shakespearean plays, 19th-century novels, modern prose or drama, and unseen and anthology poetry. 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 precisely tailor classes to individual needs. A core focus for all will be mastering exam technique and crafting high-quality responses.
