Our specialist subjects, Music and Mathematics, sit alongside a broad and rich curriculum; the school timetable has been designed to ensure that there is room for special projects and enrichment and club activities, working with some of the most prestigious organisations in London. Our sponsors UBS, a leading global financial services firm have led the establishment of our school from the onset and they continue to significantly support us.
We are a school with a simple mission: to ensure that when students leave the Academy every one of them can go on to University or a high quality equivalent, thrive in their chosen field and live a great life. In this way, The Bridge Academy truly is ‘A Bridge to their future’.
We are determined that every child who attends The Bridge Academy has the chance to develop their talents and abilities to the fullest in a culture of respect and exemplary behaviour. We have a first-class team, and learning and teaching is stimulating, exciting and enjoyable.
A lot of time has been invested into working in partnership with local primary schools to create the best possible experience for students moving on to secondary school. It means that our students have had the chance to get to know The Bridge Academy team before they arrive and the team is able to establish links with their parents as part of this. By understanding every child individually, The Bridge Academy ensures that every student receives the highest standard of teaching and support.
Our Academy is an academic, inclusive and inspirational environment where innovative thinking and creativity are encouraged and aspirations are raised. We have unlimited aspirations and a belief that anything is possible, and for this reason we are a centre of excellence for learning.
