School Description

The Bridge School was established following the amalgamation of two local primary special schools in September 2006 and is based on two sites, one in Sutton Coldfield and one in Erdington. There are firm plans for the school to be re-located on one site. The school educates children with complex and multiple needs, including severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and those diagnosed on the autistic spectrum disorder. The proportion of students for whom the school receives pupil premium funding (additional funding allocated by the government for certain groups of pupils, in this case, those who are known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority) is above average. The Sutton site includes a residential unit for six weekly boarding pupils, term time only, which was last inspected in July 2013 and was not part of this inspection. Pupils come from a wide catchment area across Birmingham and a large majority of pupils travel to school on local authority transport. The make-up of the school reflects the ethnically diverse population it serves. The largest group of pupils are White British, but with significant numbers of Pakistani, and Bangladeshi pupils. The temporary executive headteacher is due to remain involved with the school until April 2014. The deputy headteacher took up her post in September 2013.
