The Bridge Alternative Provision

A turnaround alternative provision

The Bridge is an alternative provision for learners who were unsuccessful in a generic classroom and need a therapeutic & holistic approach to their education. Supporting learners from age 5-post 16.

Our provision is a transition rather than a destination setting - supporting a variety of learners, including those that need time out from their home school, at risk of permenant exclusion, those awaiting a special school placement and young people from out of county. We work with learners with a variety of difficulties and conditions including autism, ADHD, SEMH, sensory issues, trauma, brain injuries and learning difficulties. A large focus of our work is helping young people who have behavioural concerns or mental health problems.

We aim to restore young people’s self-confidence, self-esteem, self-control and self-motivation through a flexible, personalised, needs-led programme with unconditional care, nurture and support. 

Every day at The Bridge is a fresh start.
