Easter GCSE revision course
At Gordonstoun, we believe that active bodies equal active minds.
Active Revision is a residential 5 day GCSE revision course held at Gordonstoun during the Easter holidays.
It combines expert-led revision sessions, physical activities and a pioneering food menu - designed to stimulate the brain and body, increasing learning potential and memory.
Course Date: 6 April - 12 April 2026
Why Active Revision?
As pioneers of character education, Gordonstoun asks students to live up to the school motto: Plus Est En Vous – there is more in you.
This course helps students discover that there is more inside all of us. To feel more fully prepared - mentally, emotionally and physically - and consequently to improve their GCSE grades in the summer.
And it works. In previous years, there has been a noticeable improvement in the subject areas studied on this course.
From last year's course...
- 68% of students who say they use exercise to help manage stress, say the technique is very or extremely effective.
- 86% of Active Revision students achieved results that were at least a grade higher than their mock exams, with one student achieving 4 grades higher!
- 43% of students on the course studying English (Literature & Language) achieved 3 or more grades higher than their predicted grade.
