Newbridge School- special school.

Newbridge School aims to provide a bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of students who struggle to access mainstream education and provide the best opportunities to achieve academic qualifications though overcoming the variety of barriers that its students experience.

We will work with students who have been permanently excluded from mainstream provisions and will assess their needs supporting transitions back into specialist provisions, other mainstream provisions or into post sixteen educational settings.

Newbridge will also work with and support mainstream secondary school settings through outreach support and short term intervention placements which will be planned and delivered through collaboration helping to reduce permanent exclusions and allow earlier intervention to support the needs of students. Outreach support will also be used to support Newbridge students post sixteen through trusted adults and transitional support packages to reduce the likelihood of its students exiting education.

Staff of the school aim to provide knowledge, expertise and training to secondary schools to increase capacity within Worcestershire to provide earlier help for students who are struggling to manage their educational journey. All training and support will be planned through collaboration with secondary schools, Worcestershire Children First and pupils parents/ carers.
