Welcome to the website of Newbridge Academy

I would like to warmly welcome you to Newbridge Academy.  Newbridge Academy 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.
