StudyFest Brighton 2026Â
Â
The three-day academic intensive, to revolutioniseÂ
how you revise.
Â
Does this sound familiar?
Here’s what typically happens at home:
• Rewriting notes
• Highlighting textbooks
• Reading instead of retrieving
• Avoiding the hardest topics
• “Studying” with a phone within reach
It feels like work, but it rarely moves grades.
Research into high-performing exam candidates consistently shows that structured, timed, retrieval-based revision significantly outperforms passive review.
StudyFest is built on that principle.
Structure over effort.
Strategy over hours.
Introducing StudyFest
This is not just a “Revision Day”
It is a controlled academic environment engineered for performance.
Students work in a calm, conference-style setting alongside other serious GCSE and A-Level students.
No chaos.
No vague “bring your books and try your best.”
No passive sitting.
Clear plan.
Defined targets.
Immediate support.
Environment drives behaviour. Behaviour drives results.
“Before working with Kate, revision at home was a constant source of stress. My son was putting in the hours but wasn’t making progress, and we didn’t know what to change. These sessions completely shifted that. He came away calmer, clearer, and finally confident in how to revise properly. It’s the first time revision has felt productive rather than painful.”

Who is StudyFest for?
StudyFest is designed for serious students wanting top results this summer.
Students who are capable, but need a bit of extra support, motivation or accountability
Students who know they could perform better with the right structure.
This is for you:
âś” GCSE and A-Level students (years 10-13)
âś” High potential students, whose grades do not yet reflect their ability
âś” Students who need structure to focus
âś” Those easily distracted at home
âś” Students who want to revise more effectively
âś” Teenagers who respond well to external accountability
It is particularly powerful for:
- Capable but inconsistent students
- Students who procrastinate
- Students who revise but use ineffective methods
Hi, I’m Kate.
As a parent myself, I understand the stress and tension that can arise when your child is working hard at revision but not seeing the results you both hoped for. That's why I created StudyFest - an in-person revision experience designed to take the pressure off families and help students thrive.
With 15 years of experience teaching at top academic schools, I've seen first-hand that students often struggle not because they lack capability or motivation, but because they haven't been taught effective revision strategies. At StudyFest, we provide expert supportive guidance and structured activities, in an incredible environment designed for success. We help students master evidence-based study methods and build real exam confidence.
Rather than revising alone in distracting environments, StudyFest students learn together in a focused, structured setting. They'll leave feeling empowered, knowing they have the tools and support to reach their full potential.

What actually happens at StudyFest??
Pre-planning workshop
Â
Students do not turn up hoping for direction.
Before the event, they attend a structured planning workshop where we:
• Identify priority topics
• Decide which evidence-based study method works best
• Design their day knowing exactly what they should be doing when
Structured "Focus Zone"
Â
The main study space runs on disciplined, timed work cycles.
• Focused sprints
• Protected breaks
• Clear targets
• Visible accountability
Experienced teachers and mentors circulate continuously.
If a student gets stuck, intervention is immediate.
No spiralling and no wasted hours.
Test me/ teach me performance stations
Most students think they understand a topic until they have to explain it.
At our Test Me / Teach Me stations, students work directly with a mentor who will:
• Ask them to teach the concept back
• Question them using active recall
• Identify and correct weak points immediately
This is not passive review. It is retrieval under pressure.
Subject Strategy Drop-Ins
 Revision often stalls because students hesitate to ask the “small” question.
At StudyFest, they can drop into subject-specific Q&As led by experienced teachers to:
• Clarify misconceptions
• Check interpretation of mark schemes
• Pressure-test answers before they matter
Weaknesses are addressed immediately.
Alternatively they can upgrade to our subject-specific taught intensives.
Take-Home Systems
Â
Â
StudyFest does not end at 5pm.
Students leave with:
• Structured revision frameworks
• Planning templates
• Repeatable study systems
They don’t just complete revision.
They learn how to structure it independently.
An Environment Designed for Focus Â
StudyFest does not feel like school.
It takes place in a Corporate Lounge at the Amex Stadium.
It feels intentional.
The room is calm.
Heads are down.
Phones are away.
Expectations are clear.
Students sit alongside other capable young people who are taking their exams seriously.
When the environment changes, productivity follows.
“I used to revise a lot but never felt sure it was working. I get so bored working at home all the time. Kate showed me exactly what to do instead — especially testing myself and fixing mistakes straight away. I left knowing what I needed to work on and feeling much more confident about my exams.”
