From the Bridgewater School
At Bridgewater School, we believe that the freedom to be yourself, is the greatest freedom of all. It is the central thread that runs throughout the fabric of our vibrant school community and why, as a family-focused school, nurturing individuality lies at the heart of everything we do.
From Early Years onwards, our small class sizes and nurturing approach ensure that each child is known by name and valued for who they truly are, with outstanding support and activities tailored to their needs.
In Key Stages 1 and 2, the combination of exceptional tuition and close personal attention ensures that every child has the time and space they need to succeed, before progressing on to the excellent programme of pastoral care and specialised support through Senior School into Sixth Form.
Our unique, outwardly focused approach to education engenders high standards of behaviour and self-discipline amongst pupils, as well as building a mature awareness of their personal and social responsibilities. This approach produces articulate, fully-rounded individuals who take pride in their achievements, making them fully prepared to meet the exciting challenges of the future.
