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 & 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.

Ness

The school offers my son a calm and safe environment where he can express and be himself. I feel the staff working with him know him well and how best to meet his needs.

Katherine

We feel Three Bridges is perfect for our son. A is always asking for school. We know he’s safe and cared for when he’s there. He is treated as an individual and the outdoor space is what he loves. The sign of a good day is when he comes home covered in mud and clutching homemade bakes he’s made that he is reluctant to share!

Julie & Ryan

We cannot commend Three Bridges enough; our son has come out of his shell and has started to learn due to the skills and patience of the staff.

Sarah

The whole team go above and beyond.

We’re very happy that our child is enjoying her new school and is enthusiastic about attending and taking part in lessons and activities

We are grateful to all the staff for making her feel so welcome and at ease, and are enjoying seeing her in an environment that she can start to develop her potential.

It’s really lovely to see our son engaging with the staff within his team.

Please pass on my thanks to all the staff working with him.

All their time and effort into supporting him daily at school. I really do appreciate it and he is much calmer at home as a result of this.

Thank you so much for all you do with my son. He seems to be doing very well. I’m proud of his achievements this year.
