Online Driver Education
e-learning for learner drivers
a²om is changing the way you learn to drive, by giving you a head start before you even get to sit behind the wheel. Our state-of-the-art software will help you get a lot more out of learning to drive and in turn give you a much better understanding of how to stay really safe when you take to the road. It will also help you be a better passenger!
The harsh facts are that 1 in 5 novice drivers will crash in their first year and around 1,000 young drivers will die each year on UK roads. A quarter of those charged with causing death by dangerous driving are under 25 and more than half of the passengers killed/seriously injured in crashes are young people. These a²om modules will help you to protect yourself, your friends and other road users.
Based on scientific research these modules will help you understand the influence that your attitude and behaviour will have on your safety whilst in a car and will help you
advance the way your brain reacts to scenarios you may face on the road.

My experiences of university... Mr Paige (English Teacher) @ University of Essex
Where did you go?
University of Essex
Why did you make that decision?
I measured up the number of UCAS points I was expected to get with the Times ranking of the university and chose the best university with the points I had available.
I went to visit the university and really likes the feel and atmosphere of the campus
What was the area like?
The University is in the town of Colchester which has a large shopping centre and has very good night life. The Campus has lots of bars and social areas and a very strong sport and society emphasis.
What were the good points?
Nightlife
1 hour from london
Excellent Student Union
Good lecturers and student support.
Small Campus based university with a good social aspect
International campus with students from many different countries.
Relatively cheap campus accommodation and local rental prices for the second and third year
What were the limitations of that university?
Not London based
Small so you don't get many big acts coming to the Student Union
Overall comments/experiences.
Essex is an excellent rated university with good facilities and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I have lots of friends from other countries who I see often and have stayed with in the past who I only met as the university recruits a lot of students from overseas. The accommodation, tutorials and lectures are all on one campus so you don't need to travel into town very often and this saves bus fare. Also, as the university is only an hour trip to London you can easily go home and take your washing with you!

Gap year anyone?
City Year London is an independent charity, but is based on City Year, a successful American programme which was established in 1988 and which now operates in 20 cities in the United States and in Johannesburg, South Africa.
We are recruiting 50 young Londoners, from all backgrounds, who will volunteer as tutors, mentors and role models. Each corps member will receive living expenses of up to £100 per week, and be eligible for a Citizens Service Award of up to £1,000 to use for future education or employment opportunities.
We’re keen to spread the word. It is a fantastic, life transforming opportunity for young people, and a chance to make a real difference to the lives of children in disadvantaged areas of our city. There’s more information available at: www.cityyear.org.uk/join-us
Do let me know if you have any questions.

My experiences of university... Ms. Beer @ Roehampton Univeristy and Christchurch University
Where did you go?
Roehampton University and Christchurch University
Why did you make that decision?
I got the 'right' feeling when I went on a taster day to that university. It was very green but close to a major city. I went to Christchurch for my teacher training because it was my home town and I knew there were good schools i would be place in.
What was the area like?
Roehampton has the perfect location. It is situated right by Richmond Park and is only a bus ride away from Wimbledon, Putney and Richmond. It is very posh! Canterbury is a lovely city with great shops, restaurants and lively bars.
What were the good points?
Nightlife for both.
They are both small universities so you had a real community feel.
Both are 1 hour from London
The summer balls were the best in the country in 1998!!!
Excellent job opportunities e.g. being able to work at Wimbledon and meet hot tennis players!
What were the limitations of that university?
Roehampton was an expensive area for a student to live in. The campus was spread out and so you may have to travel depending on your halls and your course.
Overall comments/experiences.
Roehampton may not have been the highest ranked university but I had an amazing time there. Wherever you go, it is what you make of it that is important! I had great lecturers, interesting courses and made amazing friends. I spent many a summer by the river in Richmond or at the tennis in Wimbledon. We also used to go out regularly in Leicester Square and Putney.
Canterbury was where I grew up so it was nice to return for a year and be close to my friends and family. It was harder to make friends as I did not live in halls. However, I was lucky to have my school friends in the area. Canterbury's a great area with lots of facilities. Definitely consider this if you want to move not too far afield but not be in London.

Changes to History A Level
As you will have no doubt recently heard, there will not be an A2 History group running at Welling School following completion of the AS course. In the current financial climate it is simply not viable to run two small groups in the same subject when the opportunity to combine them is available.
Fortunately, History A2 will run at Bexleyheath School in the same option block so you will be able to continue with this subject and complete the full A Level.
