Course summary

Expectations: • Attend nine, sixty-minute, lessons per fortnight. • For each hour of lesson time, students should expect to spend at least 1 hour of private study consolidating their learning. • If students are finding the work difficult they must seek additional help from their class teacher or any member of the department. We politely request that students DO NOT consult AQA mark schemes during their studies. • If lessons are missed it is imperative that students email the class teacher to see what they are missing and on their return meet their teacher to catch up with the work missed. • If an assignment deadline is missed, immediate contact will be made with home.
