Our story:
The Bridge Trust is a unique multi-School trust currently consisting of five special schools, two primary schools, a Training and Development Service and an Outreach Service. Our schools are located in North London (Islington) and Norfolk (Easton and Kings Lynn).
We are an ambitious family of schools that embraces the individuality of everyone – children and adults. We acknowledge that learning can look different for different pupils and staff and we look to change our approach to meet the needs of the individual. We are committed to getting learning right for everyone. We’re always looking for new and better ways of doing things – everything is about doing the best for our children and young people.
We believe that learning for both children and adults in the Trust is greater together as a group of schools in partnership. We can learn more together and make better provision together rather than schools operating separately. For more info, please visit our website.
