Our online extension activities stretch and challenge A-level students in 21 subjects. There are 10 activities available for each subject. Teachers can use the activities as they are or use them as a resource to develop inspirational lessons.
We worked with university academics and teachers of French and Spanish in school to develop resources to extend and inspire gifted and talented students in years 8, 9 and 10.
