BRIDGING TASKS...

Every subject this week will outline to you their bridging task.

In order to confirm your place in the Sixth Form in September, bridging tasks must be handed in to each subject that you are timetabled within at the start of Y12.

All bridging tasks will form part of the first assessment; they check your suitability for the courses selected and your work ethic for Sixth Form studies.

A copy of all bridging tasks can be found on the Sixth Form webpage.
