New Bridge School

Welcome to New Bridge School

New Bridge School was established in Hollinwood, Oldham, in 2004. We are a state of the art Secondary Special School, developed specifically to meet the needs of students and pupils with an Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP) from the age of 11 up to 19.

The school is part of the New Bridge Group, belonging to the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, and currently operates across several sites:

New Bridge School (Main Body), where many of our KS3, KS4 and Pathways students are based, is located in the Hollinwood area of Oldham. We share the site with our sister school, Hollinwood Academy.

New Bridge Learning Centre, catering for students aged 16 to 19, is situated approximately 3 miles away, in the Fitton Hill area of Oldham.

Our town centre campus in Oldham is home to New Bridge Pathways (our KS4 Provision) and New Bridge College (16-19).

Students on our Bridging the Gap Programme are based entirely on site with their employer, with the support of job coaches at both The Royal Oldham Hospital and Manchester Metropolitan University.

Our website aims to provide you with key information, curriculum insight and news on the school. It’s also a valuable resource for pupils and parents/carers to help keep everyone involved and up-to-date. If you are unable to find the information you require, please contact us. We welcome any comments or suggestions you may have.

Together with the staff at New Bridge School, we look forward to working with you.

Gavin Lyons, Executive Headteacher
