Exams can feel overwhelming, but no young person needs to face them alone. This spring, The Good Shepherd is offering a series of free GCSE Maths Revision Sessions designed to build confidence, strengthen understanding, and create a calm space to learn alongside others.

These weekly sessions run on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7pm in the base, with access via the rear door off Good Shepherd Close. Each week focuses on a key topic that regularly appears in GCSE exams, giving students the chance to revisit tricky areas, ask questions, and practise with support.

All worksheets and pens are provided. Students should bring their own scientific calculator.
