Good luck to Class of 2022 if your watching this.
Your GCSEs is not far away, I HIGHLY recommend that you start revising now. And using this opportunity to ACE those papers to the best of your potential.
As a class of 2021 student, i highly regret not having enough revision and hours of lesson because of the pandemic/lockdowns and scenarios. PLEASE DO REVISE AND MAKE AN EFFICIENT/UNDERSTANDABLE TIMETABLE!

Good luck!!!!
