Best Use of Study

The main use of study is of course to get your work done for your A level courses. Each A level course consists of five/six hours of class AND your study and homework hours. Other things you need to be doing in study are: year 14 - completing your UCAS research, personal statement and application' year 13 researching and organising your work experience; investing in enrichment activities to boost your life and your applications, eg. RSA keyboarding, volunteering with younger students, volunteering to plant bulbs for the Wildlife Group, volunteering for something else you see that needs to be done. If there is anything else you would like to take a short course in, ask. Reading, the library is full of books and the week's magazines are there to be used. Don't underestimate the power of expanding your mind through reading books, magazines and newspapers. Especially if you have a long stretch of study within one day, it is essential to plan how you will use it to give yourself some variety and added value.
