Newcastle Bridges School is a multi-site alternative provision academy within Prosper Learning Trust which provides education to pupils from ages 4-19. NBS predominantly serves children in the city of Newcastle but also those children and young people referred into hospital or mental health provisions from regional and national services. The school provides excellent educational opportunities to pupils whose education has been interrupted by mental or physical ill-health or school phobia. We seeks to support each pupil’s access to a full-time, broad and balanced education appropriate to their potential and their educational needs and encourage reintegration into mainstream whenever relevant. Newcastle Bridges School was judged by Ofsted to be ‘outstanding’ (November 2016).

Pupils are referred to the school according to their specific needs via the local authority, their home school, multi-disciplinary agencies, medical services and CYPS provisions regionally, nationally and internationally.  Pupils may be fully or dual registered depending on their circumstances.
