School Description

The school is a calm and welcoming environment. Staff are friendly towards pupils and know them well. Pupils are happy and safe here. Many pupils have felt unsettled in previous settings, which often caused them to avoid attending school. With the support that they receive at Bridge House School, pupils successfully start to reengage with their education. The school has raised its expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils conduct themselves well. When pupils have concerns about bullying, the school takes appropriate action in response. That said, incidents of bullying are rare. The school is ambitious for what pupils should achieve. It ensures that, where appropriate, pupils are given the opportunity to study for accredited qualifications. However, in some curriculum subjects, the school has not sufficiently clarified its ambitions for the knowledge that pupils will learn. Ultimately, this hinders some pupils from building a secure body of knowledge across the curriculum. Pupils have many opportunities to pursue their wider interests. For example, every Friday is an enrichment afternoon when pupils can try out a range of activities, such as baking, science or health and beauty. Pupils can also take on additional leadership responsibilities at the school. There is a pupil librarian and a school council that represents pupils on interview panels when new staff are recruited.
