Key Stage 5
This stage of your education is preparing you for the world of work or further education. With this in mind the way that you approach the course should be different.
- Independent Work – you should be taking ownership of your own learning, reading around the subject and doing extra work at home making sure you fully understand concepts
- Becoming a Sixth Form Mentor – come along lower school lessons and share your understanding. A programme can be tailored to your available study periods.
