A bit about us:

The Clifton centre is a specialist provision within The Bridge Alternative Provision providing high-quality education for learners with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Our team is committed to delivering a flexible and inclusive curriculum that enables our learners to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our provision is a transition rather than a destination setting – supporting a variety of learners, including those that need time out from their home school, at risk of permanent exclusion, those awaiting a special school placement and young people from out of county.

We work with learners with a variety of difficulties and conditions including autism, ADHD, SEMH, sensory issues, trauma, brain injuries and learning difficulties. A large focus of our work is helping young people who have behavioural concerns or mental health problems.

We aim to restore young people’s self-confidence, self-esteem, self-control and self-motivation through a flexible, personalised, needs-led programme with unconditional care, nurture and support.

The curriculum will support and engage young people ensuring the correct provision of resources, within the educational setting, allowing them to thrive and meet their full potential.

We pride ourselves on our excellent engagement and pastoral care, which ensures the vulnerable children in our care are ready to learn.
