Summer work 2026
This summer work has been provided to help you prepare for the step you are about to take from GCSE study to A Level study. Please try to complete the activities before you join us in September, as this will get you ready to start each A Level subject in a strong positon and will help to re-engage your brain after the long summer break.
If you are making a late application to join us, or you are switching subjects over the summer, don't worry about completing all the material - just try to do what you can.
You have chosen to study your A Level subjects at an advanced level for the next two years, so we hope you find the materials interesting and that they make you feel excited about starting your new courses.
Summer Workbook
Maths Summer Workbook
In the Maths transition book there are a number of topics that we consider to be important for Yr12. In order to maintain your mathematical skills over the summer it is essential that you revisit these topics.
Each topic has three sections: Introduce, Strengthen and Deepen.
Our requirement is that you complete the ‘Strengthen’ and ‘Deepen’ sections. If for any reason there is a question you can’t do, leave it and we can address this at the start of Yr12.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Mathematics Department in September.
Mr. Jordan
Head of Mathematics
