The Bridge Academy

About this Organisation

We are a school with a simple mission: We aim to ensure that all our students go on to University or a high quality equivalent, thrive in their chosen field and live a great life. In order to achieve these ambitious goals, everything we do at the Bridge is driven by our six core values:

Bravery: We meet our fears head on. We embrace challenges in order to thrive

Respect: We value everyone equally. We treat others as we would wish to be treated

Integrity: We do the right thing, even if no one is watching

Drive: We are determined to succeed. We never stop trying to get better

Grit: We never give up, even when things get tough

Excellence: We go above and beyond, without excuses, to achieve the best

The Academy's partner, UBS, the city financial firm, has supported education in Hackney for more than 15 years and The Bridge Academy represents its biggest single, long-term commitment as part of a wider drive to raise educational standards in Hackney. The scale of the partnership with UBS is unique in education, and offers our students amazing additional opportunities in parallel with the expertise and passion for learning of the Academy staff.

As a result, The Bridge Academy is an academic, inclusive and inspirational environment where innovative thinking and creativity are encouraged and aspirations are raised. It is a hugely exciting place to work and study in, and one that I am extremely proud to be a part of.
