We take a personalised approach to education

Our curriculum

Bridge House School delivers a broad, balanced curriculum designed to develop the whole child. Quality First Teaching is delivered by subject specialists who use a range of multisensory strategies to build knowledge and embed learning over time. These include visual, auditory and kinesthetic methods, alongside repetition and overlearning to support long-term memory and confidence.

Our enquiry-led approach to curriculum helps to promote adaptability and encourages our children to make connections across and between subjects. Our aim is to ensure that creativity and challenge are woven through our enquiry questions which are planned to stretch thinking, build active engagement in learning and stimulate curiosity.

We aim for all students to leave us with meaningful qualifications that reflect their ability and prepare them for further education or training. In addition, our curriculum is complemented by life skills, personal development sessions, and enrichment, ensuring students leave Bridge House ready for life in modern Britain.
