Headteacher's Welcome
Although February has been a short month, and one that included our half-term break, it has certainly not been a quiet one here at Somerset Bridge. Our pupils have continued to work hard and achieve across the curriculum. It has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm for learning in every classroom. From enrichment activities and school trips to thoughtful work in English and Maths, there has been a real sense of determination and curiosity around the school. Thank you, as always, for your continued support; it makes such a difference to what we are able to achieve together.
I am also delighted to share some exciting news about a development that will further strengthen our inclusive provision. In the weeks following the Easter break, we will be welcoming a new SEN Satellite Provision on our school site, led by Polden Bower School. This specialist base will provide high quality, tailored support for pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans, enabling them to access the expertise of Polden Bower staff while still benefiting from the wider opportunities of our mainstream environment.
It is anticipated that some children currently attending Somerset Bridge who have Education, Health and Care Plans may access the satellite either full-time or part-time, depending on their individual needs and what is identified as best supporting their progress, wellbeing, and inclusion. We are proud to be working collaboratively to ensure every child can thrive and receive the right support at the right time.
We look forward to sharing more updates as the satellite provision prepares to open and will continue to work closely with families throughout this process. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding this exciting change, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
