A-Level Induction Course

At the end of their year 11, after GCSE in July the mathematics department run a three week A-Level induction course for our most able pupils. This is a series of 9 lessons run over a three week period. Feedback from the course has been excellent. Our pupils have indicated that their transition from GCSE to A-Level has been smooth. This year will be the third year of running the course.
