Independent Study
Independent study is a key part of A Level success. It is not possible to achieve the higher grades without it. The Personal Study element is particularly demanding in terms of students’ ability to organise themselves and work independently. Students need support to become independent learners, especially in the early stages of their A Level course. In this section you will find helpful articles, guides and resources to enable you to help your students to become more independent in their learning.
