Hope and a future.
Contact usHead of School’s Welcome
Welcome to The Bridge, an independent Social, Emotional and Mental Health School welcoming students who have struggled to access a mainstream setting, offering them hope and most importantly, a future.
At The Bridge, wellbeing is placed at the heart of everything we do. We specialise in providing a nurturing environment that focuses on building confidence and resilience, empowering each student to reach their full academic potential and thrive in all aspects of life.
As Head of School, I am dedicated to creating a community of inclusivity, empathy and growth. Our team of highly trained staff are committed to creating a safe and supportive community where every student feels valued, respected and inspired to succeed. With small class sizes and an exciting variety of extra-curricular opportunities, students are given the tools to grow and develop a brighter future for themselves. Our aim at Key Stage 3 is to successfully re-integrate students back to a suitable mainstream setting whereas Key Stage 4 students will usually stay and complete their GCSEs with us.
Whether you are a parent, carer or student, I encourage you to explore the website and discover the many ways in which The Bridge can support your child to re-engage with their learning journey.
