About Bridgeway School

Based in Preston, the school caters for pupils with autism, neuro developmental needs and associated complexities such as, trauma, sensory processing, mental health and speech, language and communication difficulties.

A big warm welcome to our website

We are passionate about inspiring and motivating our pupils to become confident and aspirational individuals. We aim to equip every young person with the skills, knowledge, and meaningful experiences they need to achieve their goals and realise their full potential, both in school and beyond.

Our nurturing and supportive environment is rooted in the values of respect, tolerance, and diversity. These principles guide our everyday interactions and help create a positive atmosphere where personal growth is celebrated. Within this safe and inclusive space, pupils are encouraged to express themselves openly, explore their identity, and contribute to the life of school. This helps each pupil feel recognised, accepted, and empowered as a valued member of our school community. We recognise that every young person is unique that’s why we are committed to providing a personalised learning experience, adapting our teaching approaches to suit individual needs, enabling pupils to flourish and thrive.
