CEO’s Blog – 14th October 2022

Just one week until half term. Where does the time go?

This time of year sees plenty of change happening all around us, and our Trust seems to be changing all the time too.

Of course, we maintain a steadfast commitment to the children and young people we educate and care for, but we’re always looking at exciting new ways that we can bring innovation and inspiration to our offer.

The move that will take place at New Bridge School after the February half term is one of those exciting changes…

Pupils on the Key Stage 4 Pathways will move to a newly developed site in Oldham Town Centre, where opportunities for learners will be strengthened, as will existing partnerships with the College.

I know that Mr Lyons will be hosting an information session next week, which will provide parents with reassurance about the move, showing them the types of opportunities that will be made possible.

Sticking with New Bridge School and the opportunities for the pupils there, it was wonderful to see so many of our pupils heading to watch Demon Dentist by David Walliams this week…

…even managing to meet him by the looks of things.

How’s that for an opportunity?!

Congratulations must also go to the school on their Gold Signalong status, which was confirmed this week.

This comes after the news a few weeks ago, that Spring Brook Lower has been recognised as an ADHD Friendly School.

We really are always changing it seems.

Changing for the better and for the good of the young people we support.

Whatever you’re doing this weekend please try and stay safe. I’m hoping to get to the AFC Bury Vs York game – I’m starting to get the “bug” again!
