Summer transition work

Maximising your potential in Sixth Form

Students showing a real interest and who read around subjects outside their specifications will often achieve more highly at A Level.
Universities and employers are looking for enthused, engaged and excellent candidates who show a passion for their studies. Cambridge University have stated, "As our admissions decisions are based on academic criteria we expect to see evidence of students' super-curricular activities and wider engagement with their wider area of academic interest such as reading and other exploration relevant to the course applied for".

Consolidation of your GCSE knowledge will help to prepare you for your A Level studies. The Study Skills section will provide you with lots of ideas on how to be successful at A Level.

Please find below the Subject Induction Preparation Tasks, which you are expected to complete over the summer that will help to prepare your for your A Level studies. To inspire you further, we have provided optional further reading, films and podcasts alongside links to the examination boards and the A Level specifications. We hope you have an enjoyable summer and look forward to welcoming you to the Ribston Sixth Form in September.
 
Please find below the presentation from our Induction Morning that took place on 22nd June.
