Bridgeway School
Lancashire, Lancashire, North West · PR5 6EP
Bridgeway School is a small independent school in Lancashire, with around 85 pupils on roll and a mixed intake from age 11. Led by headteacher Mr Christopher Newiss, it is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, in line with its independent status. The intimate size points to a setting where pupils are known individually and class groups stay small. Families weighing this school should look closely at its published results alongside the wider picture of what it offers.

Teaching & academics
Pupils sit GCSEs, and the published headline figures sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 11.2 against a national average of 46.9, with 0% achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. With a SEN support rate of around 2.35%, the cohort is small enough that individual circumstances and prior attainment can weigh heavily on these figures. Parents will want to discuss directly with the school how it supports each pupil's progress.
