What skills and experience we're looking for
Part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, New Bridge College provides a learning space and hub for Post-16 students from our 16 - 19 population, based at a campus in the centre of Oldham.
Our aim is to ensure that all our students, from Key Stage 5 onwards, engage in a revised and vibrant curriculum offer. The Students at the College follow different pathways that develop areas of interest. All Students at the College engage with the core offer of English, Mathematics and ICT. As well as developing these core skills, the College’s main aim is to support young people and provide them with numerous opportunities in order for them to reach their desired destination goals of being independent. Many of our Students stay on at the College and progress onto our one year supported internships.
