Strengths
- “Warm and nurturing relationships exist between pupils and staff at The Bridge School.”
- “They settle in quickly and soon start to do well.”
- “Pupils say that the school is welcoming, and that staff understand them well.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects in key stage 3, the knowledge that pupils need to learn, and the order in which pupils need to learn it, is not as clear as it should be.”
- “As a result, it is sometimes uncertain how new knowledge builds on pupils’ previous learning.”
- “This stops pupils making as much progress as they could.”
