Transition Year 11 into 12

Many new year 12’s find the first few weeks of sixth form challenging, as the level of study and expectations are more demanding compared to GCSE.  You will be learning more challenging content and will have more personal responsibility for studying independently.  In order to achieve your very best you need to be prepared.

Transition Resources

Student Guide

We have provided a detailed student guide with all the key information about being a successful student in Sixth Form @ Swakeleys.

Subject Work

Each subject has also provided transition work to be done over the summer holidays.  This will help you prepare for what Level 3 studies will require of you and begin to get you into good independent study habits.  By completing the transition work you will ensure you begin Year 12 in the best possible way.

Transition work is not optional and will be assessed for completion and effort by your teachers when you start.

Remember it is important to give a good first impression of yourself as you begin your courses.

Online Transition Course

Alongside the subject transition work we expect all students to complete a free online skills booster course by tutor2u on the transition to Sixth Form.  It covers how to make notes, research, manage your time and make the most of your time in Sixth Form.
