Bridgelea Pupil Referral Unit

At Bridgelea Primary School, we proudly serve 134 children in Key Stages 1 and 2, focusing particularly on those with Educational Health and Care Plans (EHCP) for Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH).

We provide an essential day-six education programme for children in Manchester at risk of exclusion or those who have been permanently excluded, ensuring they receive the bespoke support they require in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Our two-site provision enables us to deliver intimate learning experiences with high levels of staff support, reflecting the diverse and complex needs of our children. Our school community is rich in diversity, comprising various ethnic backgrounds, with a considerable number of children eligible for pupil premium funding.

Many of our children encounter multiple challenges, including ADHD, communication difficulties, and social care involvement. This context informs every aspect of our work, driving us to be responsive, compassionate, and unwaveringly focused on each child's holistic development. Our vision, Understanding People, encapsulates our core purpose perfectly.
