Our children are encouraged to explore and discover through exciting learning opportunities. We provide a calm, safe and inclusive environment where positive behaviour and mutual respect is modelled. We are developing a broad and balanced curriculum to support the progress of children, whilst celebrating their uniqueness enabling each child to grow in confidence, resilience and self- worth. Our curriculum is built to stimulate participation and support their holistic wellbeing by ensuring each child has access to relevant learning challenges and opportunities to flourish.

About Bridge Academy All-Through Alternative Provision

Bridge Academy is a successful Alternative Provision across two sites—Coffee Hall and Manor Road in Bletchley—supporting children and young people aged 5 to 19. The Academy was judged Good by Ofsted in June 2024.

Bridge Academy offers opportunities to understand a child’s needs and build relationships whilst also supporting them to develop strategies and skills to become lifelong learners and active members of their communities.

The Deputy Principal will champion Bridge Academy’s vision, placing no ceiling on what our young people can achieve. This post is ideally suited to an aspiring Headteacher who is ready to lead a site under the guidance of experienced Alternative Provision leaders. We welcome applications from candidates who, having read the application pack, feel they have the necessary skills, experience, and strength of character to fulfil the challenges of the role. This would be ideally suited to someone who is keen to develop and grow within a forward-thinking Trust which places young people at the heart of all that it does.
