TBSHS Sixth Form Bridging Units 2025

Welcome to the site for TBSHS Bridging Units 2025! 

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.

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. If you are an A Level student you will therefore complete three bridging units, and BTEC students will complete two. If you are studying four A Levels, then you will complete four.

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. It is an expectation for all students joining The Bishop’s Stortford High School Sixth Form that this work is completed, and you will be held accountable for this.

You need to bring all completed units to your first day and prepare for an important set of tests on these in late September.

Bridging Units for September 2025 will be added in the coming weeks.
