The Bridge Education Centre

The Bridge Education Centre was judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in September 2018.  It is a mainstream Pupil Referral Unit based in Eastleigh for students who are at risk of exclusion or who have been permanently excluded from their mainstream school.  The Bridge Education Centre also caters for Emotionally Vulnerable students who are finding it difficult to access their mainstream school.

Our ethos is one of Education, Engagement and Inspiration, we want your child to experience a happy and well balanced school life.

We provide academic, therapeutic and alternative education solutions to pupils who are struggling with their education.  Often our children are with us for a short two term support program.  They are  given support, guidance and strategies to succeed in mainstream education.  There might be a number of outcomes from this program and these will be discussed at length with parents, carers, the school and the pupil.

In rare cases older pupils who cannot manage a mainstream educational environment might complete their secondary education with us.  Our full time KS4 groups can study up to 8 GCSE’s and benefit from further vocational qualifications.  We mix an alternative activity based program with an academic offer which is balanced to meet the needs of your child.  You can search the site to find detailed information on all our educational programs.

None of them should leave school without knowing what their talents are, without achieving something significant with these talents while they’re with us and without a clear pathway to show how they can further develop them when they leave us so they can find success and fulfilment in their lives
