About The Bridge MAT
The Bridge Trust is a unique multi-academy trust currently consisting of five special schools, one primary school, a Training and 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 are committed to getting learning right for everyone. 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.
At The Bridge Trust, we aim to give every member of staff;
dedicated days to follow an individualised plan to build on their practice through relevant training programmes but also acknowledging the importance of activities such as;
- peer observations, reviews and reflective practice
- visiting alternative settings
- JPD in lesson planning, assessment moderation, lesson observations
On top of a full induction programme, staff at all levels will create an individual CPD plan, completed by the end of September and linked to;
- their development needs identified through performance management / lesson observations / skills audit
- 2 CPD days per year allocated to support individual CPD plan – remaining CPD allocation directed by The Bridge SIP
- Identification of impact from CPD on individual and The Bridge Trust
Our team also have access to an individualised training programme to make sure that we continually build on impact and learn about new ways of working.

Our Students: They are very special and make everything we do worthwhile
