Moreover, with the content of new A level specifications being increased, it essential that lessons are effective and have impact. Most post teachers believe that A level students should be treated more as adults than as traditional students. They are not very inclined to learn something they are not interested in, or in which they cannot see the meaning or importance.
This means that the curriculum and how it is taught will be the key focus of any 6 th form inspection. This course is highly practical and interactive. Teachers will leave with a clear set of strategies and interventions which they can adopt in their teaching. In this course we will explore how this can be achieved.
This very practical course will allow participants to develop the key ingredients required to ensure that their students achieve their full potential at A Level.

This may include activities such as:. When students are not in lesson they are expected to be in Commons where supervised independent study takes place. This gives students a focused atmosphere and time and support to complete the large amounts of independent expected of them. To ensure you make the most of the time with your subject-specialist, Sixth Form students must consistently meet the following minimum expectations:.
There will be a wide range of opportunities to extend your learning within in your subjects but also to broaden your horizons beyond the academic curriculum. Successful sixth form students are always looking to take these opportunities that will be advertised through subjects and by our Head of Universities and Careers Guidance.
