Testimonials

“Three Bridges is not a school it is a family. The students are at the centre and their well-being is paramount. Young people can thrive. There is simply no other place like it.”

Lisa and Cary

“I would just like to say ‘wow’ what a school! Idyllic setting, kind and understanding staff who support all the family. For a young person who had not managed to attend school for over three years and now gets up happy and is waiting to go, I just want to say well done and thank you.”

Tina and Ro

“After years and years of changing schools, daily meetings, regular meltdowns and constant anxiety, it was so refreshing when we got a place at Three Bridges. Three years later and it’s like we have a different son.”

Ian

“Our daughter began her placement at Three Bridges last September. The support she has received has been incredible. The staff have devoted so much time and energy into settling her in, after a traumatic time in her previous mainstream setting.”
