CEO Blog - 21.3.25

 

This week, I am delighted to share some fantastic news with you all!

 

You may have already seen that a recent visit and subsequent Ofsted report has rated New Bridge School as “Outstanding.”

 

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of every individual across our four sites.

 

I want to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations and thanks to all staff and students for their contributions.

 

Firstly, I would like to mention Gavin Lyons for his guidance and leadership throughout this journey.

 

I also want to highlight the incredible efforts of our Heads of Site:

 

Alison Tootill, Dawn Allison and Scott McKeown.

 

Your leadership, support and dedication to our students and staff have played a crucial role in achieving this outstanding rating.

 

The four people mentioned above however, could not have led their teams without the efforts of everyone else across the sites.

 

Every single staff member has contributed to the positive environment and exceptional learning experience that New Bridge offers, and I am so proud of the collaborative spirit that runs right through the school. 

 

I think we would all agree that our students are the shining stars of this achievement.

 

Their enthusiasm, resilience and determination reflect our mission and values, showcasing the very best of what New Bridge has to offer.

 

You can read the full Ofsted report here, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to celebrate this achievement.

As we head into the weekend, I want to show my appreciation for all your hard work and commitment to our school community.

 

Let’s continue to work together and inspire our students.

 

Wishing you all a restful weekend.

 

Clare John
