As this academic year comes to an end, you may have students asking what to expect as they transition to the next level of study. This can be a challenging time for students, and to help, we have provided a range of free online support for your students to prepare them so they can confidently progress to the next step.
You may have students who are about to transition to a higher level of learning but feel they need additional support to feel confident with that progression. Below, you will find some information on the support we offer for both the Transition from GCSE to level 3 study and the Transition from level 3 study to university.
Transition from GCSE to level 3 study
Essential Skills materials: for students who intend to study maths at A level. They cover topics such as Simplifying, Expanding, Sketching, and Factorising. Students can complete these independently, but they can also be paired with support and additional guidance from a teacher if preferred
Transition to A level Mathematics: an interactive online course that aims to give students the confidence and skills to feel ready to start A level study. This free course covers topics Year 11 students will find most valuable at the beginning of their studies. The course offers assessments for students to complete, with an option of a certificate at the end.
Core Maths Skills course: help students revise the math skills needed for level 3 maths. This course will benefit students who intend to study A level subjects such as Biology, Psychology, Geography, and Business; level 3 vocational courses; and/or level 3 Core Maths. The course offers assessments for students to complete, with an option of a certificate at the end.
Transition from level 3 study to university
Registrations are open for our Transition to University Course 2024 from the 1st of May. It is for students who are:
- Currently in Year 13 or taking a gap year.
- Studying A level Mathematics.
- Planning to begin studying a degree in maths, engineering, sciences, or closely related subjects such as economics in 2024 (or choosing to defer their entry until 2025).
The course allows Year 13 students to study at their own pace to consolidate key A level topics. It also introduces some new topics that will be valuable in preparation for undergraduate degree courses in areas such as maths, engineering, or sciences.
