Curriculum Overview
New Bridge School is a 11-19 specialist provision based across 4 sites for pupils and students with special educational needs. The pupils and students at New Bridge School receive a curriculum underpinned by the vision and values of the New Bridge Trust.
Our vision is to "Create Meaningful Futures" within an inclusive learning environment where all pupils and young people are valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their full potential. Our curriculum offer is designed to align with our values, which are:
- We are caring
- We are creative
- We are inspiring
- We are passionate
- We are innovative
- We trust each other
All our pupils and students follow a destination based curriculum which is influenced by the individual SEND needs, EHCP Outcomes, the National Curriculum and evidence-based practice and knowledge to ensure a broad and balanced offer that suits the needs of each individual pupil or student. At New Bridge School we are proud of the levels of engagement in the classroom which is supported by teacher’s knowledge of how to plan for each pupil's and student's individual needs, interests and learning styles.
