Welcome to the website of Newbridge School
About Newbridge School
I would like to warmly welcome you to Newbridge School. Newbridge School is an outstanding special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years, who have severe and complex learning differences.
At Newbridge all of our pupils will develop their communication and independence with an emphasis on what the pupils ‘Can do’.
Split over two sites our Lower School provides an exciting foundation to pupils learning with a range of fun activities and resources. We are passionate about forming relationships with our pupils and their families so we really know each unique child’s background, interests and motivators. Every child will start their school life in a safe and stimulating learning environment that will help form a lifelong love of learning.
Our Upper School builds upon these relationships and interests developing their cognitive skills, social skills and levels of independence. By providing a child-centred, stimulating and holistic curriculum, pupils will develop self-confidence and resilience both within school and in their wider community. Once in sixth form we focus on preparation for adulthood so our pupils leave Newbridge with the skills they need ready for their next destinations.
We are immensely proud of our school and its pupils and each small step of progress they make in their unique learning journeys.
We hope you enjoy looking at the website, please feel free to contact us if you would like to find out more about our work or request paper copies of some of the information.

The PFA have been successful in their application to Variety Coaches for a sunshine minibus!
The mini bus will be allocated to Hatchside School and will enable the pupils to experience a wide variety of activities and outdoor trips which would not otherwise be possible. This is the first minibus for Hatchside school and was part paid by funds from the PFA. We are grateful for the PFA members hard work in the fundraising they do to benefit the pupils at our schools. As a parent or staff member of any Astrum School, you automatically are a member of the PFA, if you would like to get involved in activities and fundraising for the schools get in touch with them at Newbridgepfa@gmail.com
