Keep your maths sharp

Practise some calculations each week, so you are ready when term starts.

Practise talking about your plans

Record a short talk about the course you chose, what excites you and what might be a challenge.

Start a learning diary

Get into good study habits now. Try OneNote, which you will use at college.

Enrolment

Your first weeks

Induction is in early September. You meet your teachers and classmates, find out about the support available and get your college sign-in details, so you can use all the systems and apps you need.
