About Us:-

New Bridge School was established in Hollinwood, Oldham in 2004 and is a 300 place state-of-the-art secondary special school, developed specifically to meet the needs of statemented pupils and students from the age of 11 up to 19 years.

The school is part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, and currently operates on two sites:

• New Bridge School, our 11-16 department, is located in the Hollinwood area of Oldham and now shares the site with our new sister school, Hollinwood Academy which opened in September 2015
• New Bridge Learning Centre, catering for students aged 16-19, is situated approximately 3 miles away in the Fitton Hill area of Oldham.

In addition, the school has internal outreach provision located at 3 other sites:

• Medtia Square, our new campus in Oldham town centre, provides a learning space and hub for students from our 16-19 population who access work-based learning through our innovative work experience programmes at various locations within Oldham. Students from three of our 14-19 Curriculum Pathways are also based at Medtia Square.
• Students on our Bridging the Gap Programme are based entirely on site with their employer with the support of job coaches at both The Royal Oldham Hospital and Manchester Metropolitan University.

At the heart of the school’s mission, “Learning together, learning for all, learning for life,” is the belief that all pupils, whatever their background or ability, will be successful and valued.
