YOUR Summer Independent Learning (SIL)

During your Induction Day visit, each of your teachers will assign you some Summer Independent Learning (SIL) Tasks to complete over the summer break, ready for your first lesson back after the holidays.

This work is designed to help support your transition from GCSE to post-16 study. In some subjects, it will help to refresh and consolidate some of the GCSE topics that will be important for your post-16 courses. It might develop some of the important skills you’ll need, such as research or writing skills. For some subjects, it might introduce some of the new topics you’ll be studying in more detail in the autumn term. The SIL will also help you to get a sense of whether the subjects you’ve chosen are ones that you’re likely to enjoy and succeed in, in advance of your enrolment day.

All of the SIL tasks will be available for students to download later in the year at www.ncdoncaster.ac.uk/SIL and by selecting ‘Year 11 to 12’.
