🎉 We would like to congratulate our learners on their fantastic examination outcomes – well done, we are so proud of you. 🎉 Three Bridges School is a small independent Special Educational Needs school set in a rural location, near the city of Truro in Cornwall.
Our school works with learners with a broad range of SEND, including Cognition and Learning, Communication and Interaction, Social Emotional Mental Health, and Sensory and Physical. We specialise in supporting and educating young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and associated conditions.
We provide a personalised and well-rounded approach to education for learners aged from 11 to 19 years, delivering Key Stage 3 and 4, and Post-16 Education. Our curriculum is taught in ways which meet the individual needs and interests of each young person.
This includes bespoke learning programmes, core curriculum subjects, a range of AQA qualifications, Functional Skills and The Outdoor Curriculum. The curriculum provides academic, practical and independence elements. We encourage our young people to engage in learning experiences, and to challenge and inspire them; we teach the way the learner learns.
