The Bridge Trust is a unique Multi Academy Trust which consists of five special schools, two primary schools, a Training & Development Service, and an Outreach Service. We are an ambitious family of schools that embraces the individuality of everyone – children and adults. We acknowledge that learning can look different for different pupils and staff and we look to change our approach to meet the needs of the individual.
We’re always looking for new and better ways of doing things – everything is about doing the best for our children and young people.
We believe that learning for both children and adults in the Trust is greater together as a group of schools in partnership. We can learn more together and make better provision together rather than schools operating separately.
We are looking for the Trust to develop into a multi-hub Trust with a centralised support team. Each school within the Trust will be innovative, creative, evidence informed, and an outstanding centre of learning where all pupils and adults achieve amazing outcomes. All of the schools in the Trust will share with each other, and outside will learn from others, for the benefit of the pupils and staff.
Our Trust values are referred to as the 5 Ps. These are pride, passion, positivity, professionalism and partnership. Each school has additional values which describe aspirational behaviours appropriate for that individual school community.
