The transitional step for the pupil doing GCSE coursework to the student embarking on ‘A’ level coursework has to be fluid to maximise success in coursework and examinations. This fluidity is about the student emerging from the more limited challenges of G.C.S.E and vaulting forth, in understanding, application and rigour, onto the higher expectations of the ‘A’ level. After all, the student doing ‘A’ level work is progressing towards a degree and the ‘A’ level is a preparation for that.
