School Description

Pupils flourish at Newcastle Bridges. They respond readily to high expectations. Parents and carers typically say that the school is ‘tremendously supportive, helpful, patient and ambitious’. They say that this is a school where all pupils are ‘treated with respect’. Pupils behave exceptionally well. Inspectors observed pupils moving around the school calmly. Interaction between pupils was observed to be both supportive and polite. Pupils are aware of the needs of their peers; they support each other very well. Pupils feel safe. Bullying is extremely rare. When it does occur, pupils are confident that adults will deal with it quickly. Pupils attend a number of sites. These are located at the Drayton Road site and at a number of medical facilities across the area. Pupils and students have a wide range of additional needs, which are managed on site by medical professionals. Members of the education team are highly skilled at adapting to particular needs alongside each young person’s medical pathway. Most pupils are dual registered with a variety of local secondary schools. Pupils at the Drayton Road site are well supported in their learning through the Bridges School curriculum. Some pupils who are supported at other sites are provided with learning materials by their ‘home’ school. Staff working with them also use the Bridges curriculum when needed.
