Bridge College is a non-residential specialist FE college. We offer specialist education for students aged 16 to 25 with learning difficulties, disabilities, complex health needs and autism.
We’re here to give students a voice in their future and get them ready for a happy, fulfilled adulthood. Our flexible curriculum means students can make choices about their education and our support gives them the tools to succeed. We develop individual learning plans shaped to suit each student’s interests, needs and aspirations so everyone leaves with the skills and self-confidence for their future.
From day one, every student has a multiskilled team around them, from tutors and therapists to nurses, support staff and assistive tech. We can even provide specialist staff training to tailor our expertise right down to the individual.
Everything we do is underpinned by the Preparing for Adulthood framework, helping students work towards their life ambitions. Based in central Manchetser we prepare our students for all aspects of adulthood, from future work and community life to independent and healthy living.

Bridge College is a non-residential specialist FE college. We meet the needs of students up to the age of 25 years with learning difficulties and disabilities, complex needs, communication disorders and autism.
With our new state of the art campus, we have access to a wide range of leisure and community facilities in Manchester as well as parks and open spaces. This means our students can learn in lots of different settings and develop the skills needed for life as an active and valued young adult in your community. Students can experience our hydrotherapy pool, our sensory rooms and our rebound room within a wide programme of activities.
The effective multi-disciplinary assessment informs the young person’s learning programme and identifies the appropriate learning environment and support strategies. This actively enables the young person to engage in a range of challenging and fun sessions. Schools. Parents/carers and other agencies are invited to path planning meetings to support transition and consistency from college to home environments.
Our belief is that everyone should have the chance to achieve their potential, there are no exceptions.
Our college is part of the Together Trust, a charity that is approaching its 150 year anniversary of working with young people with learning disability and autism.

Referral Notes
Parents, carers, students and professionals are welcome to contact Bridge College directly or through the Together Trust’s main reception.
Most students think about applying in their last year of school, however, it can take time to decide whether Bridge College is right for you and to have a full assessment of your needs, so it is a good idea to arrange to visit us well before this. Our advice is to apply in plenty of time.
When a young person applies to Bridge College, we want to make sure they get the right support. Here are some tips to help with your application.
- Come and visit us before applying, to make sure we’re the right place for you
- Work with us early so we can understand your needs and put the right support in place for September (we like to start this as early as March)
- Work with the transition staff in your school and let them know you want to attend Bridge College
Get in touch today to arrange your visit.
