Year 11 - 12 Transition: Bridging the Gap

Our 'Bridging the Gap' programme is designed to help students make a strong start within the sixth form at Barnwell School. The programme consists of five elements, each of which provides Year 11 students with a range of resources and materials designed to help them make the transition from KS4 to KS5 (Sixth Form). 

Learning Skills

We will support you to develop learning skills that you will need for your sixth form studies and beyond.  

We will provide a series of videos to watch and activities to complete.  These are all designed to ensure you arrive at Sixth Form with the knowledge and skills to make an excellent start.

Course Transition

We will help you develop course-specific knowledge and skills, so you are ready to start Year 12.  Each department has created a booklet containing a course overview and access to a wealth of resources which will help you to transition from Year 11 to Year 12.
