Repeat A levels

9 replies

AlevelTake2 · 16/05/2024 21:25

Working on a plan b, if disaster strikes on results day. Can anyone please recommend a sixth form/college to repeat A Levels in London for science subjects. I don’t mean just a base to re-sit the exams but to effectively repeat Y13 with strong teaching and exam techniques taught.

Current sixth form doesn’t take students back.

TIA.

I think you will struggle because of the funding issue. Surely it is better to focus on revision techniques now?

@TheBottomsOfMyTrousersAreRolled sorry should have mentioned, looking at private schools/colleges due to the funding restrictions in state schools.

Plan A has been supporting revision.

You are looking at a crammar like www.mpw.ac.uk. It is a very expensive option, it's better to focus on the next few weeks and make the most via clearing of the grades achieved if all does not go to plan on results day.

@hockeygrass yes this is the last resort if revision/clearing doesn’t work. Thank you for the link to MPW. Anyone know of others?

You can Google to find more but it is very very expensive. Best of luck to your dc for the coming weeks.

Yes, good luck to your DC.

As a side note, I am so glad my DD (who did not get the results she wanted but did get a uni place despite not meeting the grade requirements) went off on a gap year rather than retaking at MPW or the like. She's discovered her strengths. Just throwing that in the mix in case it's a helpful perspective.
