With the Easter holidays here, many Year 11 students are diving into GCSE revision. But while studying hard is important, where and how they study can make all the difference. A well-structured, distraction-free study environment can boost focus, reduce stress, and help them retain more information.
As a parent, you can support your child by setting up the ideal revision space – and making sure they have the expert help they need to stay on track.

1. Set Up a Distraction-Free Study Space
A focused environment helps students get more done in less time. Encourage your child to:
✅ Study in a quiet, clutter-free area away from noise and interruptions.
✅ Use good lighting – natural light is best, but a bright desk lamp works too.
✅ Keep their desk organised with only essential study materials.
If the home environment isn’t ideal, consider study cafés or libraries for a change of scenery.
2. Minimise Digital Distractions
📱 Social media and notifications are the biggest focus killers! Help your child stay on track by:
🔇 Activating ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode on their phone.
📵 Using apps like Forest or Cold Turkey to block distractions.
⏳ Setting up focused revision blocks (e.g., 25-minute study sprints with 5-minute breaks).
Even small changes can massively improve productivity.
3. Equip Them with the Right Study Tools
Having everything they need at their fingertips helps avoid wasted time. Ensure they have:
📚 Textbooks, revision guides, and class notes neatly organised.
📝 Highlighters, sticky notes, and flashcards for active revision.
🖥️ A laptop or tablet (if needed) for accessing past papers and online resources.
A whiteboard can be a fantastic tool for quick mind maps and brainstorming key concepts!
4. Prioritise Comfort and Wellbeing
A study-friendly environment also means looking after their health. Encourage:
🥤 Regular hydration – a water bottle on the desk is a must.
💺 Good posture with a supportive chair to prevent aches and pains.
🍎 Brain-fuelling snacks like fruit, nuts, or yoghurt instead of junk food.
Feeling physically comfortable makes a huge difference in their ability to concentrate.
