Year 11 summer transition materials

A Level Subjects Transition Materials: Year 11 – 12

First of all, congratulations are in order! You have studied hard, sat your GCSE exams and hopefully will receive the results that you deserve. Celebrate this achievement and be proud of your hard work.

Now, you may have heard the following phrase: “It’s a big jump from GCSE to A-Level.”

We have some optional transition work on offer to help prepare you over the Summer for starting A levels with us at Malmesbury Sixth Form in September.

The transition tasks listed here are designed to help you prepare for the challenges ahead. It includes:

a) Tasks linked to the topics you will cover in Year 12 to help you recap your GCSE knowledge.
b) Tasks to help you develop some of the skills you will need to succeed in A level.
c) Tasks to see how your knowledge is extended.

There are many courses on this site that relate to your future subjects – some are listed here but if you search you will find many more. All courses are free and you can pay for a certificate but you DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. You can reference the courses on any application, including your UCAS application, without having to pay. The courses run with a set amount of hours per week and you do them independently, at times that suit you. Take a look, get ahead and keep a note of everything that you do. Keep your notes too so you can refer to course-specifics in future interviews. Good luck!
