PET-Xi Firing Up Your Mind

GCSE intervention · Our biggest impact day

Turn the topics they're stuck on into the marks they need.

Topic Focus is PET-Xi's flagship in-school intervention. A team of three specialist trainers comes to you for an intensive day, with custom materials built around the exact GCSE topics your cohort is losing marks on — taught the PET-Xi way: fast, focused and relentlessly aimed at the exam.

Subject coverage

Built for the subjects you're judged on

Topic Focus runs across the core GCSE subjects. We shape each day around your specification and exam board, and around the topics where your students are dropping marks.

  • Maths

    Number, algebra, ratio, geometry and the problem-solving that trips students up.

  • English Language

    Reading analysis, structure and the writing techniques the mark scheme rewards.

  • English Literature

    Set texts, themes, character and the analytical writing that lifts grades.

  • Science

    Combined and triple science — biology, chemistry and physics, including required practicals and the maths skills.

  • History

    Sources, interpretations, depth studies and exam technique across your units.

  • Geography

    Physical and human topics, case studies, fieldwork and the applied skills.

How a day works

Four moves, one focused day

  1. Diagnose

    Before we arrive, we work with your department to pinpoint the topics and question types where marks are being lost.

  2. Focus

    Our trainers deliver custom sessions on those priority topics — not a re-teach of the whole specification.

  3. Practise

    Students work through exam-style questions and the techniques that secure the marks, at pace.

  4. Momentum

    Students leave believing they can do it, with your staff set up to build on the day.

Why schools book it

Specialist, custom, and built to move grades

  • A team of three specialists — enough to take a whole year group, or several focused groups, in a single day.
  • Custom materials — built for your cohort, your exam board and the topics that matter, not off-the-shelf worksheets.
  • Energy that re-engages — the PET-Xi way turns revision into momentum, especially for students who've switched off.
  • Flexible by design — a single intensive day, or multiple days by arrangement, timed around your exam run-in.
