Home About Us Admissions Early Years Prep Seniors Sixth Form Contact Us "The pupils are well educated in accordance with the school’s aims in that their achievements are proudly celebrated by all." ISI Report Bridgewater School is a co-educational, independent day school for pupils aged between 3 and 18 years. Established as a boys’ school in 1950 and having moved to its present delightful, semi-rural setting soon afterwards, the school has since grown considerably - admitting girls and developing a sixth form. The school not only draws pupils from the immediate locality but also from a much wider area being well served by the motorway network and by other major road links. Bridgewater is by design not a large school. This enables the provision of small classes and high levels of attention to the needs of individual pupils. We are seeking to maximise education attainment all through a child’s development, not least in the years of external examinations at GCSE and A level. In addition to its academic goals, Bridgewater seeks to retain the intimate atmosphere it has had since inception. We greatly value our capacity to offer provision across the full age range, from the nursery years to university entrance, for families wanting this continuity of individual attention for their children. At the same time, however, pupils must look outward to the wider community and to the society in which they will live as adults. It is an integral part of Bridgewater’s role to foster high standards of behaviour and self-discipline, as well as to develop an awareness of personal and social responsibility. Vital, too, are the many activities that take place outside the classroom - sport, music, drama clubs and societies, language exchange visits and outdoor activity breaks to name but a sample of the range available. Entrusting your child’s education to a school is a very big decision. We are mindful of our responsibility to justify a parent’s decision to send their child to us and of the need for that child’s education to be a partnership between school and home. The aim, by the end of this partnership, is to produce rounded, articulate young people who are well prepared for the challenges of adult and business life. The school governors, staff and pupils share a sense of excitement about Bridgewater’s future. The school has developed rapidly in recent years, with splendid new buildings and facilities and a considerable increase in pupil numbers. There is a commitment to continual development and improvement. If you have not yet visited Bridgewater School then may we recommend that you do so soon. The Head and staff would be delighted to meet you and to show you how much Bridgewater School has to offer you and your child. Bridgewater School is also delighted to be able to share its state of the art Drama and Dance studio together with its outstanding sports hall, with the wider community, enabling for example Stage Coach, Fit Kid, King's Camps, Family Martial Arts and Salford Community Leisure, amongst others, to benefit from these facilities.
