From the early morning ‘Good morning Bridge’ session to the end-of-day daily debrief, pupils are at the heart of everything this school does. Pupils are happy. They are proud of their school and say they always feel safe here. This is because the adults know the pupils very well. They understand the pupils’ needs and do everything they can to support and help them to make the most of what the school has to offer. Relationships between the teachers and pupils are excellent. The pupils say they feel very well cared for and this is clear to see. Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it happens, it is dealt with quickly by the teachers. Pupils say behaviour is good. The school’s bullying and behaviour logs support this. Pupils are extremely polite and respectful and enjoy their lessons, particularly when they get to work with the animals around the farm. The school’s dogs, Poppy and Ralph, are much loved. They provide emotional support for pupils when needed. The school provides very successfully for pupils’ academic, emotional, personal and social needs. Because of this, pupils who have found school difficult in the past thrive at Bridge.
