Year 11 Students  - Springwood Sixth Form

If you are going to be attending Springwood Sixth Form in September 2020. Please follow the link below to view the Summer Tasks for Year 12 Applicants.

Springwood Sixth Form Summer Tasks - Year 12 Applicants

Please complete a summer task for each of the subjects you are studying and hand it to your teacher on the occasion of your first lesson.  Your summer task will be marked and returned to you with feedback before the end of the initial assessment period.

In addition to summer tasks, which are compulsory, departments have set a range of other work which will help you to prepare for your studies at Springwood 6 th Form. While this work is optional, it is well worth spending some time, during this period of national lock-down, developing the knowledge which will lead to success in your
chosen subjects.

If you are still unsure of which subjects to study at Springwood 6th Form, it would be a good idea to try your hand at the work set by a range of departments. If you enjoy working through these tasks, it is a good indicator that you would enjoy that subject.

Below are a selection of additional online classrooms and resources that you may wish to explore and work independently on.
