School Description

Pupils are happy and safe at Newbridge School. Each morning, adults greet pupils off the buses with a warm welcome and a smile. This familiar routine helps pupils settle and be ready for learning. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ learning and of everyone working together to achieve this. They refuse to see pupils’ learning, social or physical needs as a barrier to achievement. They have strong partnerships with nurses, therapists and social workers. Parents and carers appreciate this positive approach. One parent wrote, ‘I really feel with Newbridge we found a place where we belong.’ Teachers do everything they can to help pupils to learn, enjoy school and become more independent. They adjust equipment and activities to meet each pupil’s needs. All adults excel at helping pupils to communicate. They stop at nothing to find ways of helping pupils to express their likes and dislikes. They help pupils to make friends and enjoy time together. Bullying very rarely happens. If it does, teachers deal with it immediately. Pupils enjoy lessons in swimming, physical education (PE), art and cooking. Older pupils love their job in the weekly tuck shop, serving and taking the money. Pupils behave impeccably. They try hard with their work and are nearly always calm. If they are not, it is usually because there is something exciting going on.
