You are going to be introduced to Java Programming as part of your A Level. You may already be familiar with Java, or it might be your first time using it. Your first job is to download the necessary Java files and an IDE so you can run programs in Java. 2. Go to the Oracle website and download and install the Java Development Kit on your machine Java Downloads | Oracle (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/) It doesn’t really matter what version you choose. 3. Decide which IDE you would like to use. Download and install the software from their websites. You may need to get some help from YouTube to do this but that is all part of A Level thinking and getting yourself to independently learn. Java works well in the following IDEs: 1. IntelliJ IntelliJ IDEA – the Leading Java and Kotlin IDE (jetbrains.com) 2. Eclipse Eclipse IDE | The Eclipse Foundation 3. Visual Studio (only use if you are a very confident programmer already) 4. Learn the basic Java syntax to: • Produce an output to console • Take an input from the keyboard • Declare variables • Assign inputs to variables • Concatenate outputs to console Use W3 Schools to help you complete this task Java Tutorial (w3schools.com)(https://www.w3schools.com/java/default.asp) Chemistry Please use the information in the PowerPoint to help you complete the questions in the OCR transition from GCSE to A-level maths skills document.

Over the summer, before you begin the course, we would recommend that you see at least one live production and begin to consider how directors, performers and designers work together to produce a show that makes an impact on a live audience. Your set texts for the course will be MACHINAL by Sophie Treadwell and THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare, and we would suggest you familiarise yourself with these either by reading them or watching a film/live theatre version. You will explore a variety of practitioners and other play texts, none of which will be decided until the course is underway and we have had the opportunity to work together. We do not require any specific advance learning but would encourage you to use the reading list below over the summer to begin preparing for your course. SUGGESTED READING LIST As A level students you are expected to conduct independent study, including research and reading around your subject. Outside your lesson times you are expected to conduct an equal amount of study (so for 5 lessons a week this would be just over 4 ½ hours). There will be plenty of time beyond your set prep for you to access the list below. All of these will give you a greater understanding of the world of theatre and those who work in it. Most of these are available through the Drama department or the Library, and if you would like to borrow a copy you are most welcome. Anything we do not currently have can be ordered for you. Please note – this is just a selection of the texts we recommend and you may also wish to read others. We would be happy to recommend a further selection once you have exhausted these! It is also not essential that you read the Practitioner texts in their entirety but select chapters to gain a flavour of the methodology. Practitioners/genres: An Actor Prepares – Stanislavski Brecht on Theatre – Brecht The Frantic Assembly Book of Devising Theatre– Scott Graham Games for Actors and Non‐Actors – Augusto Boal The Empty Space – Peter Brook Shakespeare on Stage– Julian Curry The Theatre and its Double– Antonin Artaud Immersive Theatre– Josh Machamer Play Texts: A Doll’s House – Ibsen Eight – Ella Hickson Look Back in Anger– John Osborne 4.48 Psychosis– Sarah Kane (WARNING – contains strong language/imagery) A Midsummer Night’s Dream– Shakespeare Dance Dance students will be understanding the history and work of Rambert. Take a look at their website https://rambert.org.uk.(https://rambert.org.uk/) Make notes on key parts of their history and where they are as a company now. We will be studying practitioners such as Matthew Bourne, Yasmin Vardimon and Christopher Bruce. Watch some of their works to see the style of dance and choreography they use. Alongside this make sure your staying physical. Work on your strength, flexibility and stamina. Keep yourself healthy and strong ready for September. Economics Please find resources here.(https://24494767-8c1e-40b6-be74-6830482f9765.usrfiles.com/ugd/244947_c69bd2a3c63b4910bd7b0d79a0114aa1.pdf) English We are thrilled that you have chosen to study the English literature A level course with us here at Frensham in September. A level style allows for freedom of thought and interpretation and with this in mind, you need to read the two texts detailed below over the summer so you can bring your fresh ideas to the lessons in September. Atonement by Ian McEwan: ISBN:978-0-099-42979-1 Vintage (£9.99) The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald: ISBN: 978-0-141-18263-6 Penguin Classics (£6.99) Both texts are readily available on Amazon. It might be useful, but not mandatory, to consider purchasing alongside these core texts, the accompanying York notes for A Level study which are priced £7.99 and are available for both texts (visit www.yorknotes.com for details.) The above two texts will form the basis of your coursework, which is worth 20% of your final A Level grade. The emphasis of the coursework is designed to promote love of literature, critical, independent and thought-provoking responses which are not necessarily designed to be prescriptively taught; so, wider interpretations are of the essence. So having an understanding and familiarity of the coursework texts before you start the course will be invaluable. If you have any questions before September, please feel free to contact us on the emails below. We do of course hope that the prospect of reading these two outstanding novels over the summer is a welcomed one; we think you are in for a real treat! Happy reading!

  • MACBETH | Frensham Heights

    “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes…” Witches whisper prophecies. A crown beckons. Ambition ignites. This Is My Theatre Company returns with their critically acclaimed, edge-of-your-seat adaptation of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy, Macbeth. Back by popular demand after sell-out runs and a triumphant Brighton Fringe season, this visceral production explodes onto the stage with music, malice, and murder most foul. Witness the descent into madness as ambition consumes a warrior, fueled by supernatural forces and a thirst for power. What price will be paid for a fleeting taste of kingship? Ambition. Betrayal. Murder. Experience Macbeth like never before. From the haunting whispers of the witches to the final, tragic downfall, experience the full power of Macbeth in this captivating live production. “Of all the Macbeths I’ve encountered… this might just be the most evocative… and most thrilling.” – Fringe Guru, ***** TWO PERFORMANCES. BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW! £7.50 STUDENTS* & £10 ADULTS FULL LIVE THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE WITH INTERVAL FREE PARKING ON SITE * contact events@frensham.org to ask about school groups 4 to 8 year olds 9.30am - 10.25am Sold Out! 9 to 11 year olds 10.50am to 11.50am Book your place Educational Impact Imagine stepping into the very heart of Shakespeare's dark masterpiece. Forget dry textbook pages; imagine the witches' chilling incantations echoing through the theatre, Macbeth's tormented soliloquies ringing out with raw emotion, and Lady Macbeth's steely resolve chilling you to the bone. This is the power of live theatre, and for GCSE and A-Level students studying Macbeth, it's an absolute game-changer. A live performance offers: * Immersive Understanding: Theatre transcends the page, offering a visceral connection to the play's themes of ambition, guilt, and fate. Students don't just read about madness; they witness it unfold before them. * Dynamic Interpretation: Every production offers a unique lens through which to view Macbeth. Students gain exposure to diverse interpretations, sparking critical thinking and enriching their own analyses. * Linguistic Resonance: Hearing Shakespeare's language spoken aloud unlocks its power and beauty in a way that reading alone cannot. The rhythm, the imagery, the sheer poetry—it all comes alive on stage. * Emotional Impact: Theatre is an emotional experience. Students connect with the characters' struggles on a human level, deepening their understanding of the play's profound themes. 

 Seeing Macbeth live is not just educational; it's transformative. It ignites a passion for the play and provides students with invaluable insights that will resonate long after the curtain falls. This is My Theatre Touring theatrical production company This Is My Theatre, founded in 2016 by Artistic Director Sarah Slator, brings the power of classic drama and literary adaptations to everyone. They believe great stories belong to everyone, and we craft each production to resonate within its unique setting creating atmospheric, magical theatrical experiences for all. “Featuring a brilliant cast with musical skill along with their comedic timing, the performance came to a close with a standing ovation thoroughly deserved.” The Argus, ***** (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) “A must see for theatre fans and an education in how to make Shakespeare relevant again.” Binge Fringe, **** (Macbeth) “There is no better small theatre company than This Is My Theatre. This is Shakespeare we can relish – lucid, emotional, funny in all the right places.” BN1 Magazine (Romeo and Juliet) Farnham Literary Festival We are delighted to be working with This is My Theatre to put on this live performance as part of the 2025 Farnham Literary Festival.
