Bridgeway School
School summary
Bridgeway School is one of the smaller independent schools in Lancashire, with roughly 85 pupils on roll. This co-educational setting takes pupils from age 11 and prepares them through to GCSE. Inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted, it operates without a religious affiliation and offers no boarding, making it a day school suited to families looking for an intimate, locally rooted environment. Under the leadership of headteacher Mr Christopher Newiss, its modest size means each cohort is small and likely to receive close attention.

Teaching & academics
The curriculum is built around GCSE qualifications, the standard academic route for this age range. With only around 2.35 per cent of pupils on SEN support, the school caters to a relatively small number with additional needs, and its compact roll allows for individual focus across year groups.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, fee-paying day school in Lancashire that may appeal to families seeking a close-knit environment from Year 7 through to GCSE.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
