STRUCTURE OF A LEVELS Year 12 AS Level = half of an A Level and carries half of the points of an A Level Year 13 A2 Level = an A Level Some students may pick up an AS subject in Year 13.

TIMETABLE : 25 LESSONS 3 SUBJECTS 3 x 5 lessons= 15 Tutor period= 1 Enrichment= 1 = 17 lessons 4 SUBJECTS 4 x 5 lessons= 20 Tutor period= 1 = 21 lessons

TUTOR PERIODS  Study Skills, Time Management and Essay Technique.  General Studies.  Three introductory lessons, followed by a specification specific carousel programme.  Preparation for Post 18 pathways.  Started in the summer term.

ENRICHMENT: ‘CHANCES’ COURSES Just a few examples:  Duke of Edinburgh  Young Enterprise  Buddy Reading or Learning Support  School Newspaper  Classroom Assistant in Primary schools or lower school  Gardening club  Dance and Drama clubs  A wide choice of sporting activities

IMPLICATIONS  Their workload at school is high.  Private study and Independent Learning. ( hours each week)  Between 4 and 8 study periods in school  There is NO SUCH THING AS NO WORK TO DO at this level.  Part-time jobs - Working up to 10 hours per week can be beneficial, though anything over this is usually detrimental.
