We are delighted to report that we have once again been

praised by Ofsted for providing pupils with an ‘exceptionally

broad and rich’ education provision in their latest inspection

report.

​

We provide an educational provision for both disadvantaged

pupils and those children who struggle with mainstream

school. This is the second consecutive time that The Bridge

has been identified as a ‘Good’ school by an Ofsted inspection.

​

Writing in the inspection report, Ofsted praises the school for

providing a positive and trusting environment. “This school

gives pupils a fresh start in education. Pupils form positive

and trusting relationships with staff who listen to them and

understand their needs. They are made to feel safe and

secure. This means that pupils have many opportunities to

have a fresh start in education and a strive for success in both

their personal and academic goals’.

​

The report highlighted that the carefully designed curriculum

compromising of academic, active and therapeutic provision

“For all pupils the offer is exceptionally broad and rich.

Importantly, pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs

are well provided for throughout their daily lessons.”

​

Headteacher, Chris Bayliss, said:

“I’m delighted that the Ofsted report validates the work our team provide children every day to ensure that they feel safe and valued in school. We know that school can be challenging for some children and we have worked really hard over the years to provide a full range of subjects alongside therapeutic support to help our students not just achieve academic results but provide support for them to face the future.

​

Our last Ofsted inspection was in 2018 found that we were a ‘Good’ school and to not only maintain but improve on the inspection findings is testament to our team in providing engaging and supportive educational provision for our children.”
