Admissions
Three Bridges is a small independent SEN secondary school, and its admissions process is built around visits, transition sessions and checking whether the setting can meet a young person's SEND profile well. The school is open about working with a wide range of needs, but the overall message is still one of careful matching rather than automatic placement.
Scholarships
Three Bridges does not run a conventional scholarship or bursary model. The school's public offer is about specialist provision, successful transitions and a curriculum built around SEND needs rather than fee-award competition.
Bursaries
Three Bridges does not clearly publish bursary details. As a specialist setting, funding may be handled through placements, private fee arrangements or individual support discussions rather than a standard published bursary scheme, so families should confirm the route directly with the school.
- The school does not publish a standard bursary entry route, so families should confirm whether funding is arranged through placements, private fees or case-by-case support.
- No standard public bursary tariff, remission percentage or fund size is published.
- Families should ask the school directly how funding is arranged, whether any private fee remission exists and who handles financial discussions.
Inspection snapshot
Ofsted's 2024 report describes Three Bridges as a calm, welcoming place where pupils thrive, relationships are strong and learners are well prepared for the world beyond school. Inspection commentary also highlights bespoke curriculum pathways and personalised support, while noting that curriculum sequencing and assessment precision are not equally strong in every subject.
