From the Bridge Learning Campus
You might already be a parent or caretaker, or you might be trying to enrol your kid in the school of your choice.
I hope that the Bridge Learning Campus satisfies these objectives, no matter who you are or what you are interested in.
We are all extremely happy to be a part of the Bridge Learning Campus because it is a rather special location. After all, we offer education and learning for children coming to us for their very first experience of formal learning in our nursery provision up to the age of 16, when students leave us having taken a full range of GCSEs.
The Bridge was one of the first all-through schools in the UK and the first of its kind in Bristol. This is what we refer to as an all-through school.
We want our kids to receive the greatest education possible as parents.
No matter where a kid begins, our goal at Bridge Learning Campus is to produce exceptional results: we make sure that the smartest students thrive, progress to A Levels, and achieve in higher education, but we never lose sight of the fact that every child matters and never give up on anyone.
Going to school involves more than simply what happens in the classroom; it also involves the opportunities and experiences that a school can offer.
Children have various opportunities to work together, including through their Houses, their academics, clubs, and society.
We are a licenced Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme centre, and over the past four years, more of our students than any other Bristol public school have earned the Bronze and Silver levels of the award.
The multi-academy trust Trust in Learning (Academies), which supports other City of Bristol schools, includes Bridge Learning Campus.
