Welcome from the Head

Welcome to The Bridge, a small independent Learning Academy in Discovery Bay, welcoming students age 12-18 who thrive with tailor made learning. Our small class sizes (4:1) enable Bridge Educators to deliver highly personalised teaching and create bespoke learning experiences. We support our students to grow in confidence, gain qualifications and have a positive direction for the future.

At The Bridge, our focus on student wellbeing and confidence ensures that each student is empowered to thrive in their own unique way. 

Our flexible curriculum offers a range of pathways including the Ontario High School Diploma and Functional Skills* qualifications in English, Maths and Digital and BTEC Diplomas. We also encourage students to engage in Passion projects, developing skills of enquiry, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. A an afternoon programme of learning is available for students who can manage a full day timetable.

We also offer an extended learning homework club Monday -Friday after school, offering support to students in local mainstream settings who might benefit from extra support, attention and personalised access to their learning.

Our aim at The Bridge is that each student belongs, is celebrated and empowered to confidently embrace their future. I invite you to contact us to explore further how we can support you and your child.
