A levels: pre-reading and research materials

Here are materials for the subjects you can choose to study in the sixth form at Hartismere.  They are designed to get you thinking about your subject and get ahead with some reading and tasks.  Working at home can be hard, but here you will find lots of things to get you started. We will add content here all the time, so if the subject/s you're interested in are not here at the moment, keep checking back!  

 

Check out Futurelearn courses too: there are plenty on almost every area of study! 

 

You could also explore these Springboard videos from University of Oxford.  The University of Oxford have put together a series of videos designed to introduce students to a range of topics related to A Level and Degree Level study. The idea is that they help generate an interest in looking into a topic in more depth outside of the classroom. You will need to answer a few short questions before accessing each video.
