The Bridge School is one school split into two parts – the Primary School for 2-11 year olds and the Secondary school for 11-19 year olds. We are a special school for children with severe learning difficulties and/or autism based in Islington. Children at the school have difficulties with communication and sensory processing and therefore we work closely with speech and language therapists and occupational therapists to both minimise barriers to learning and extend their skills.
At The Bridge Primary we have the privilege of enabling children to reach their full potential by exploring what might be possible; meeting them at their stage of learning and designing their curriculum around the individual child. We pride ourselves on creating a fun and engaging learning environment where the children feel safe, happy and ready to learn.
The Bridge Secondary offers a highly personalised curriculum, drawing on expertise from the wider professional communities in education, health and care, to ensure we meet the needs of all children and young people in our school.
We aim to create meaningful learning experiences for our students which enables their participation in the wider community and subsequent transition to life after school. In addition to this we encourage all students to reach their full potential through building on their unique strengths and interests and see this as pivotal in the development of their confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
