The overall conclusions of these studies involving more than 360,000
students are as follows:
•There is a positive relationship between the use of SAM Learning and
exam/test results.
•The greatest impact occurs when students experience 10 or more task
hours using SAM Learning.
•As well as a national report published each year we provide LA
partners with a Mini Impact Report which reports value added
outcomes in core subjects at Key Stage 3 and 4.

"We bought SAM Learning 6 days before our 2005 cohort left for study
leave. They were a less able year group than the group in 2004, but did
better. I analysed the students' results and compared them with their
estimated grades in April. Students who used SAM Learning for more
“Learning together”
than 10 hours did noticeably better.“ chsb.org.uk

Support Sessions CHSB
Departments will be using before and after school
sessions to develop examination skills and in some
cases ensure that coursework is above target.
Holiday Revision Sessions
Teachers have kindly offered to support your son in
the Easter, Whitsun. Please try to keep these times
free to support your son’s big push!
Moodle
The school moodle or VLE can often provide you with a
simple answer. We are working to get all homework on
here. It also has sections for each subject with access to “Learning together”
resources. chsb.org.uk

reissued before the Summer examinations. It
provides a conversation piece before mocks.

Tackling Revision and
supporting your son
“Learning together”
chsb.org.uk
Helping him to revise CHSB
1. Teenagers tend to be ‘all or nothing’ ‘love it or
hate it’ so focus on what is going well. They
will feel demotivated or overwhelmed
2. 100% dedication probably isn’t going to
happen so be will be compromise at 80/20
3. Agree a work/life balance- put the emphasis
on him, let him feel he deserves or feels guilty
4. Be an active listener and questioner
5. Don’t pressurise, no matter how tempting!
6. Don’t compare him to siblings or relatives
7. Be on his side
8. Reward, this is not bribery! They don’t have to
“Learning together”

Looking at the revision CHSB
session
Keys to success
•30 minutes sessions
•Complete the session with an active recap
Look at ‘Chunking’ information using the magic 7
principle
George Miller, The Psychological Review, 1956 states
"Since the memory span is a fixed number of chunks,
we can increase the number of bits of information
that it contains by building larger and larger chunks,
each chunk containing more information than
before.“
Therefore revision must be a long term project. Not “Learning together”
the night before! chsb.org.uk
