Getting Ahead

Children's Care, Learning & Development Level 2 Certificate (Pre-T Level) at Alton Campus

In preparation for your journey into Further Education with HSDC Alton, we think it is important that you think and prepare for your learning before you start with us in September.

To enable you to have a positive start, a better understanding of your ‘childcare’ course and the units you will study, we would like you to complete the following work over the summer and email it back to us.

Please email all of your completed work to katie.clarke@alton.hsdc.ac.uk or jenna.hickman@hsdc.ac.uk or chloe.pereira@alton.hsdc.ac.uk

We look forward to reading your work and meeting you in September!

Look at CBeebies bedtime stories on the internet or on CBeebies on the TV at 6.50pm.

View several different presenters and then write a reflection on how they read the story.

Write an account of your experiences with children and reflect on what skills you think you have for working with children and what skills you think you may need to improve.

Your Learning Space

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

I’m really happy and pleased with my grades. I really loved my time at the college, I have also made lots of friends, it’s a really nice place to be, I don’t want to leave.

Lauren Piper, A Level student

The tutors were really supportive and it was all thanks to them that I have achieved what I have. I’ve also made loads of great friends and really enjoyed my time at the college.
