The Bridge

The Bridge is our enhanced KS2 provision for children who may need additional support with their social, emotional and mental health needs.

It provides a calm, structured and nurturing environment where children can learn in a smaller setting, with support tailored to their individual needs. Children remain part of their mainstream class and continue to access appropriate lessons, breaktimes, lunchtimes and wider school opportunities with their peers.

Learning in The Bridge is linked closely to the curriculum being taught in each child’s class. Children may access individual or small-group teaching, adapted learning, targeted interventions and support towards their SSPP or EHCP targets.

Alongside academic learning, we support children to develop important skills such as emotional regulation, communication, positive relationships, confidence and independence. Support may include ELSA, sensory activities, speech and language work and other personalised interventions where appropriate.

Each child’s provision is personalised and regularly reviewed so that we can respond to their progress and changing needs. Our aim is to help children feel safe, successful and included, while building the skills and confidence they need to participate fully in school life.
