Welcome to Bridge College
At Bridge College, our students are at the centre of everything we do. And every student is unique – from their interests, to their aspirations, to their individual needs.
That’s why we create tailor-made learning and support plans shaped around the individual. Together we help every young person grow into the adult they want to be.

Celebrating success
Success comes in lots of different shapes, so let’s celebrate it. Every day we shine a light on our students’ achievements, helping them grow their skills and self confidence however they learn or communicate. We want to make sure every student leaves feeling happy and ready for adulthood.
A flexible, innovative approach
We welcome almost 100 students each year, and every single student is unique – so we’ve learned a thing or two about flexibility.
We take regular opportunities to reflect, innovate and make changes where we need to. Whether that means changing a strategy or switching up staff members. It’s all about creating the best experience and the right opportunities for our learners.
“A gigantic thank you for all you have done for Nafeesa this year. She has thrived under all your care and become more confident and open to new experiences.
She used to be afraid of trying anything out of her comfort zone, but now she is tackling each new challenge with a smile on her face.”
– Student’s sister, 2019
