Read through the following information as the work needs to be completed before starting at Sixth Form and will be handed in.

Step up to Sixth Form - Essential Skills 

What is this? Studying at Sixth Form requires you to develop some specific study skills. It is important that you understand what they are and start to practise them before you start your courses in September. The skills that you develop will enable you to achieve success. They will also prove useful in the future, whether you are intending to go to university, start an apprenticeship or go down an employment route. The resources here are from a national organisation about Sixth Forms, and so are perfect for introducing you to key skills that you will need.

What do you need to do? There are many tasks that you can complete, but the key ones are listed below, and these must be completed. 

Please work through and complete all of the following tasks. Instructions are in the Task sections below. Keep your work that you do in a folder as you will need to hand it in.

Task 1 - Taking Notes

Task 3 - Having a goal that drives you

Task 6 - Organisation

Task 7 - The Leap from GCSE

Task 11 - Presenting with Confidence - you will do the presentation to your tutor group in the first few weeks of term.

These tasks have been selected as the key ones to help you to step up to studying at sixth form. The other tasks are really useful too, so if you want to do these in addition, then that will be even better!  Some slides might refer to a password - you wont need one to be able to click on all the resources, so ignore this.

How to submit this work - you need it during your first registration session in September as you will show it to your Learning Manager and discuss what you have learned as a group.
