Bridge Learning Campus is a leading all-through school based in South Bristol where we work together to empower your child's future.

Message from the Headteacher

Bridge Learning Campus is a fantastic learning environment for the children of Hartcliffe and South Bristol. We are a mixed all-though academy for pupils aged 3-16. Our primary phase regularly achieves some of the best literacy and numeracy outcomes in Bristol and our secondary phase is rapidly improving to match this success.
 
Bridge Learning Campus is a school with a strong inclusive ethos. We welcome all students, and we do everything we can to help them succeed. Our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum shows our high expectations for every student and prepares them well for the next stage of education and the workplace. We also have a strong academic and pastoral support programme. All our students know that teachers and support staff care deeply about them as individuals and want them to succeed. 
 
We are proud to serve the diverse Hartcliffe community. We know our families well and they trust us to work with them to give their children the best possible start in life. We also have strong safeguarding systems to keep all our students safe and to teach them how to keep themselves safe away from the school.
 
We are the popular choice for parents in our community. Consequently, we are oversubscribed in all year groups from Early Years to Year 11. In our most recent Ofsted inspection in 2026, the report praised the school saying:

 

“Children in the early years thrive here. Skilled and well-established leaders work highly effectively with parents and carers to ensure children settle quickly into either nursery or Reception.”

“In the primary phase, many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve highly in phonics, reading, writing and mathematics, and well above national averages.”

“Typically, pupils value the positive relationships they have with staff throughout both phases of the school.

“In the secondary phase, leaders have identified where improvements need to be made (and) have taken appropriate action.”

“In the primary phase, and in the early years, leaders have constructed an ambitious curriculum which is carefully designed so that pupils build on what they know over time.”

“In both phases of the school, leaders ensure that staff have a secure knowledge of the different barriers to learning pupils may face.”

“Leaders have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. In the primary phase, well-established leaders are relentless in their drive to provide the best possible education and care for pupils and children in the early years.”

If you are considering Bridge Learning Campus for your child, then I strongly recommend you visit the school for one of our open events or contact our admissions team to arrange a tour with myself or a senior member of staff. I am confident that, during your visit, you will notice a warm, safe, caring atmosphere with high-standards and children and staff enjoying working together for success.

About

Our school is not like any other in Bristol. Bridge Learning Campus (BLC) provides an education for children from their very first experience of formal learning in nursery until they are ready for a full range of GCSEs at 16 years old and can move on to further education, apprenticeships or employment.

Curriculum

As an all-through school, we stand out from other primary and secondary schools in Bristol because our curriculum runs throughout the primary and secondary years, giving us longer to empower knowledge and confidence in our students. It also means that the specialist staff, equipment and facilities which wouldn’t normally be made available to primary aged children are there for them from day one.

Our Values

A lot of people want their child to do better than they did at school, but they don’t know which of the secondary schools in Bristol is the right choice. As an all-through school, BLC’s values are consistent throughout primary and secondary, enabling us to build the right learning environment. Our values run through everything we teach and everything we do, supporting and empowering each child to succeed at school and in life.
