The Bridge Inclusion Base

The Bridge Inclusion Base is a Support Base within Bishop Bridgeman Church of England Primary School. It provides targeted support for pupils whose additional needs require provision beyond that ordinarily available through high-quality adaptive teaching within the classroom, whilst maintaining their membership of and participation in the mainstream school community.

The Bridge Inclusion Base is an integral part of the school's inclusive practice and graduated approach to supporting pupils with additional needs. The provision aims to remove barriers to learning, promote participation, and enable pupils to access a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum alongside their peers wherever possible. For more information contact Miss K, Sivill at the school office.
