Wednesday 1st – Friday 3rd June, 9:30am – 5:00pm
Thursday, 10 March 2016
Dear Teacher,
The University of Warwick is committed to raising not only the aspirations of widening participation students, but also their
attainment, in order that they can maximise their potential. As a result we are offering Year 13 students the chance to take part in a
free 3 day A Level Revision Bootcamp, in a subject of their choosing. Students will learn, revise and study one subject area
intensively, with the chance to review progress through assessments and 1-2-1 feedback. Content will also cover transitions to
University and what to do on results day.
Each day will be hosted on Campus, here at the University of Warwick, but delivered by qualified Teachers with years of
experience in their subject areas.
We are aiming to provide a packed few days which will be constructive, valuable and enjoyable, providing full refreshments,
resources and a chance for concentrated time of revision.
