New Bridge Nursery School

Overview

New Bridge Nursery School continues to be an outstanding school, providing a highly inclusive environment where every child is valued. Leaders maintain high ambitions for all pupils, ensuring they are exceptionally well prepared for their future learning through a curriculum that prioritises communication, language, and personal development.

Strengths

• Staff form strong relationships with children and families, using ‘all about me’ profiles to understand individual needs, resulting in a setting where children “flourish”.
• The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with a high priority on developing communication and language; staff model expected vocabulary and use story maps to support immersion in rich texts.
• Children develop significant independence and resilience, as staff expertly teach them practical skills, such as putting on waterproof clothing, and provide time to practise.
• The school offers a wide range of unique experiences, such as falconry visits and musical performances, which build children’s understanding of the wider world and community.
• Disadvantaged children and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve exceptionally well due to early identification and precise, targeted support.
