Easter Revision

An average class size of just eight and a maximum of 12 creates the perfect environment for students to participate, improve their confidence and fulfil their expectations.

Easter Revision

Abbey College Manchester has a successful history for providing GCSE, AS and A2 Easter Revision courses. 120 students from Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and beyond attended in 2010.

We will be running Easter Revision workshops again next year so look out for more information on these in due course. 

Our programme is designed to help those who:

  • Don’t know where to start with their revision
  • Feel that they need to catch up
  • Need guidance on revising the right topics
  • Want to check, and be more confident about, their progress

Our Easter Revision classes:

  • Help with revision techniques
  • Increase the confidence of students
  • Prepare pupils for public examinations
  • Improve examination technique
  • Give past paper practice and feedback
  • Provide marking schemes and revision notes

AS and A2 courses

  • Half-day sessions from Monday to Friday inclusive
  • These will be 9.00am to 12.30pm or 1.30pm to 5.00pm, depending on the subject
  • A wide range of AS and A2 subjects covered
  • Students have 15 hours contact time with the tutor for each subject
  • Up to a maximum of 2 subjects during a week can be taken

Students are always asked to fill in a feedback form after their revision course finished. We’re delighted to say that the key findings this year are:

  • 97% thought that the welcome to the college was excellent or good
  • 96% thought the venue and facilities were excellent or good
  • 99% thought syllabus coverage was excellent or good
  • 98% thought the tutors were approachable
  • 98% thought the pace of the revision classes was right

  • The Singing Principal

  • During the day our Principal, Liz Elam, oversees the smooth running of our college. But at evenings and at weekends she does something completely different.

    Liz belts out songs at pubs, rock venues and weddings with her band, Dark Star. This was formed in the late 1990s with fellow teachers and they are still going strong and have a busier gig diary than ever. And when she sang at a charity talent show at the college the students were stunned.

    Liz said: "They didn't know what to think when they saw me on stage. But the following day in the college many of the students came up to see me saying 'You're an okay singer miss'. 

    When you're at school you think that teachers go back into the cupboard at the end of the day. It's good for the students to see that you can have hobbies outside work"
