Transition into Year 12 The learning at KS5 is very different to KS4. Time management is key. A large gap between GCSE and AS level and another step up at A2 Students very need to become INDEPENDENT learners They need to manage their time EFFECTIVELY and be ORGANISED Make use of ‘non contact’ periods during the school day to ensure work get completed and eases the pressure of the workload at evenings times Organise there evening time and create a routine of learning every night and at WEEKENDS Plan ahead to enable students to meet deadlines Be specific – what do you want to ahcieve during each study session (school / home) Learn from Year 13’s – talk to them about ‘their lessons learnt’. They will admit that they didn’t work hard from the start and spent time catching up after the first term
