Learning Support Assistants in East London

The best school Ive ever worked at: the culture, the staff and students, the training, everything!(staff member)

I was amazed at what a great atmosphere the school exuded, how well turned out the children were and how polite and bright they all seemed (visitor)

The Bridge Academy is a truly exceptional school. Our students progress is excellent and our superb personal development offer means that over the last few years we have been national debating champions, enjoyed a host of sporting successes and won both the Incorporated Society of Musicians Gold Award and the Hackney Mayors award for music.

• Believe 100% in a warm/strict approach?
