How parents can help their teens at home (Y10-Y13)
Examination time always comes round quicker than students expect, so it’s never too early for them to start getting into some good revision habits, alongside their usual homework. Most revision takes place at home, and whilst parents can’t revise for their teens, there are lots of ways they can help them at home to increase their chance of success and put them on a path to lifelong healthy habits.
This includes setting up the right routines, supporting their teen’s mental and physical wellbeing, checking what they know and helping them remember things, and providing the right homelife so that they can be at their most alert, healthy and resilient. Not all parents are aware how much impact homelife has on students’ success at school, so we’ve focused in on key areas in The Parents’ Guide to Homelife and exam revision – GCSE or The Parents’ Guide to Homelife and exam revision – sixth form (free to school members).

Bioscience Resource Project
Dr Chinedu Agwu, Lecturer at Brunel Medical School, is undertaking research into the levels of understanding of the Biosciences field amongst young people, and putting together resources to engage students. She is working on this independently to Brunel, however the work she produces will be beneficial for students and advisors working within schools and colleges.
The biosciences play a pivotal role in understanding life on earth from the molecular level to whole populations and ecosystems. It is an exciting and rapidly evolving area of research, with direct relevance to us for example climate change, biodiversity, health and wellbeing. This survey aims to explore and understand perceptions towards this subject area and how to engage and support more people into this field especially mature students, women and underrepresented groups. With the aim to equip and empower more students to enter and thrive in a career in biosciences.
Survey link for students: https://forms.gle/tPPdHURApA3CwApPA. Deadline to respond is Wednesday 5th April 2023
