Holiday homework

The difference between GCSEs and A Levels is quite considerable and to assist with the transition to A Level study all students have been set work, for each of their chosen subjects, that they are required to complete before the start of term in September.

Students may be assessed on this content when they start their A Level courses so it is essential they work through and understand the tasks.
