On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Bridgetown Primary School. We hope you find our website clear and informative. It is designed to give you a flavour of the vibrant life of our school, the work of our pupils and the high-quality education we strive to deliver.
We are a popular, forward-thinking primary school on the edge of Stratford-upon-Avon .
As a larger primary school, we are able to offer an extensive range of expertise from our dedicated staff team, as well as modern facilities, the latest technologies and spacious grounds, including our large sports field, memorial garden, MUGA (multi-use games area) pitch, outdoor stage and Forest School site.
Here at Bridgetown we are very proud of Stratford's heritage and we use every opportunity we can to make connections with the local and wider community, having strong connections with the RSC, Shakespeares birthday and the Stratford Literary Festival.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
