Jan Start A Level

Your decision to start A Levels in January is an excellent one – it is the beginning of the year and your mind is fresh after a long break. You however have to choose the right school if you want to succeed. Many people who take A Levels have to re-sit them and since you don’t want this to happen you have to choose your school carefully – though there are several schools that offer A Levels at that time of year, but not all of them are as good as they claim to be.

To start with, start by looking into whether they offer the subjects that you want to study. Different schools offer different subjects and you want one that can accommodate your interests. When choosing subjects do not be swayed by the opinion of others. Don’t choose a subject because a friend is doing it, or because an adult is pushing you in a certain direction. Instead, look at your strengths as well as your interests so that you can make the right career choices.

A good school invests in the best faculty and it is up to you to find out whether the school that you have in mind have the right teachers. Look into their background and how much success they have had in the past. They should be of a caring and kind nature, and patience is necessary because not everyone learns at the same pace. Your teachers should be able to offer you extra help when you need it.

Lastly, make up your mind on whether you want to be a border or day scholar – boarding allows you to focus better as you don’t have a daily commute.

One school that comes highly recommended is the Cambridge Centre for Sixth Form Studies. You can find out why on their website, https://www.ccss.co.uk/courses/five-term-a-levels/.
