Bridging Units
Firstly, congratulations for choosing The Bishop’s Stortford High School for Sixth Form. You have made an excellent choice!
Studying for your GCSE exams can be challenging and we all hope that the summer will conclude positively for you. We want to provide you with as much support as we can to ensure that you use your time effectively to build up your study skills and knowledge over the summer, to ensure you start Year 12 with confidence.
The study skills required of a successful A-Level student require you to take an active role in your progression and development. The Bridging Units are designed to help you get off to a good start in your subject choices, which we know will aid you on your journey to success and help you to develop into an independent and responsible learner.
You need to read the bridging unit carefully in the folders for your subjects below and complete all tasks. This applies to all students that have chosen to join at TBSHS in Sixth Form
Please note that some subjects will advise that you should complete certain tasks at the start of the summer (June) and complete a second set of tasks towards the end of the holiday in August. So please read the instructions for each subject carefully.
You must bring a hard copy of this work to your first lesson in each subject. It is an expectation for all students joining The Bishop’s Stortford High School Sixth Form that this work is completed.
Ultimately, the purpose of this work is to help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-level study; approach it with confidence and an open mind. Any challenges you face – and what you did to try to overcome them – will be discussed in your first few lessons back.
Remember – you need to bring all completed units to your first day and prepare for an important set of tests on these in late September.
