Aspire Virtual Summer School

Over the Summer break you have access to a range of independent learning in English, Maths and Science. Each subject has provided you with a series of five lessons followed by some project work. Once complete, save your project work onto your OneDrive account. There will be an opportunity to share your project work with your Buddies and Academic Champions once you start your studies in September.

You will have to log on using your White Rose Academies Trust email address in order to access the Aspire Summer School resources.

Science

Delve into the world of structures in nature. This series of lessons and project work will allow you to investigate how nature uses structures and shapes to its advantage and will lead you to question whether humans invented maths or nature itself inspired the mathematicians of old.
