Welcome to Bridge Learning Campus. Our campus is a rather unique place. As an all-through school, we care for pupils between the ages of 3-16 with many pupils joining us aged 11 from a number of local primary schools. We are a dynamic and forward-thinking school that dares to be creative in the decisions we take to make sure our pupils get the very best education possible.

It is my belief that each Bridge Learning Campus pupil should be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder alongside any other young person, confident in the knowledge and skills they have developed here. 

Highlighting some of the opportunities that pupils have here at BLC and some of the comments made by the Ofsted team that inspected our school in 2021. They judged our school to be “Good” in all areas; further confirmation of the strong community we have here, underpinned by out exceptional staff who believe in our vision and regularly go the extra mile in support of our pupils.

However, there is no substitute for coming to see a school in person so please do take time to come and visit us to see the inspiring experiences we provide for our pupils as we prepare them for their global futures.

Bridge Learning Campus (BLC) is unlike other schools in Bristol in that we are an all-through campus. This means that we provide an inspiring education from nursery until it’s time to take a full range of GCSEs at 16. We stay with your child throughout their formative years then launch them into post-16 education at local colleges of further education or sixth form at other schools in Bristol

At our school we have a clear vision for what we want to achieve for all students and our role in the South Bristol community. We aim for every child to become respectful, responsible, resilient and ready to build a successful future.Bridge Learning Campus is a primary and secondary community school that reaches beyond the school buildings and succeeds in being truly inclusive as well as genuinely empowering.

Our school is part of Trust in Learning (Academies) multi-academy trust. The Trust supports and challenges us alongside other primary and secondary schools in Bristol. We are part of a wider team to share resources and best practice.

We were the first all-through campus in the UK when we launched in 2009 and I believe that we’ve built a successful model that has provided new opportunities for our community.

The BLC staff are a hardworking, friendly and caring body of professionals who will get to know your child well. For your child, many of the same friendly faces will be there over the course of their entire twelve years at BLC, which helps them to feel secure at school.

For the staff, it’s a privilege to have this time to inspire knowledge and confidence and it is never wasted! In a mutually supportive and inclusive way the staff work tirelessly to empower each child to take up their place in the local and global community.

“At BLC ‘there is a clarity of direction, understood by all staff’. Staff… are knowledgeable about pupils’ backgrounds and family circumstances.”

A lot of people want their child to do better than they did at school and it can be difficult knowing which of the secondary schools in Bristol is the right choice. As an all-through school, BLC’s values are consistent throughout primary and secondary, enabling us to build the right learning environment. Our values run through everything we teach and everything we do, supporting and empowering each child to succeed at school and in life.

Our expectations of what children can achieve at BLC are deliberately and unapologetically high. Our values promote an inclusive approach to education where we seek to overcome social disadvantage and bring about social cohesion and equality. We believe these values are important and we celebrate and reward our pupils for demonstrating these values in everything they do.

We like to reward good behaviour and encourage others to follow a positive example. There are termly rewards and students with the best attendance and behaviour participate in special events within their House team. Praise is the most important strategy and we aim to recognise students who are performing well and those that contribute to our school community.
