A Level Preparation

It is essential that you read the information below carefully and follow all of the instructions from staff.

Please follow the links below for preparation work for the relevant subject you intend to study at A Level.  Most of the work will need to be completed for the start of term but some will need to be emailed into staff before the start of term, please make note of what needs emailing into school.

This transition work is a vital part of ensuring that you are fully ready for your sixth form studies. the step up from GCSE to A Level work is significant and you will be starting with your new subjects at a fast pace. In order to be at the correct starting point, and building your confidence, you must complete the work for your chosen subjects before you start in September.

Textbooks & Reading Materials

You do not need to buy the textbooks or reading books at this stage, most will be supplied at school once you start with us. However, if you can read some of them online, e.g. via the online library, then please do so.

PLUS ONE PROGRAMME

Please see further guidance and information here on the Plus One Programme - Volunteering is part of the Plus One programme and you should be planning this aspect during the summer, making contact with possible business or organisations and be ready to start this in the new term. This may be something you are already doing such as helping with Brownies, volunteering in a care home or an animal rescue which you can continue to do after school and we will build this into your timetable. If you are unable to find a volunteering placement or are unsure of where to start, then please indicate your interests on the form below as we are also able to offer volunteering opportunities within school e.g. helping in lower school lessons, assisting with sports, or gardening.
