These resources introduce you to different ideas to start developing an A-Level mindset for success. The A-Level choices resource is if you are still unsure on your subjects – remember we offer a period of time in September where the subject may be changed to ensure you get the right selection for you.
Careers
Now is an excellent time to develop your softer skills for the future, create a CV and start researching career options. Over the coming weeks, we will upload more activities that you might like to try.
University Applications
In order to make a successful application to universities, apprenticeships and the world of work, it is important to be able to demonstrate super-curricular enrichment. The aim here is to discover a topic that interests you, where you can delve deeper to improve your knowledge and understanding.
As an example, there are a range of MOOC (online courses) available through the FutureLearn and Coursera online platforms, and if you have a Unifrog account you will be able to access a range of these courses. Completing this wider learning will not only assist in the knowledge needed during your A-Level study, it will also develop your skills and understanding beyond the A-Level syllabus.
