School Description

Pupils thrive at Three Bridges School. Many have missed a lot of schooling prior to joining the school. Through the carefully planned transition sessions, pupils adapt well. All pupils have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) with some associated behavioural issues. However, through bespoke adaptations to the curriculum, pupils learn how to regulate their emotions well. As a result, the school is a calm, welcoming place in which to learn. Each pupil’s social, emotional and learning needs are prioritised. Staff and pupils develop very strong relationships which are both nurturing and supportive. Through these relationships, pupils learn how to behave with respect, empathy and kindness. Pupils are well prepared for the world beyond school. Pupils have many opportunities to interact with people in a range of settings alongside learning a breadth of skills. For example, pupils learn how to sail and about the wildlife at a local lake. They learn life skills through visiting local shops and cafes. Pupils learn to value their local heritage through visiting places of folklore importance and mining heritage sites. Pupils learn how to make independent decisions in a carefully structured way. Consequently, pupils develop the knowledge and skills to care for their emotional and physical well-being. Pupils learn about the importance of free speech, democracy and inclusion through the curriculum. All pupils are members of the school council and learn how to discuss issues about the school calmly and thoughtfully. Through the school council, pupils were able to make changes to the school dinners.
