Linden Bridge School
Education for Life: Building Bridges to Independence
Young people will leave Linden Bridge as Lifelong Learners, with the skills, knowledge and interests to access the next stage of their education or life journey. Our aim is for those young people who stay with us Post-16 (majority) to transition from Linden Bridge to mainstream college or to the world of work, equipped with the skills needed to live as independently as possible.
We will provide a creative and relevant school, together with a residential curriculum, underpinned by specialist Autism strategies that engages and excites them and prepares them fully for their next phase.
