• Dallaglio Rugby Works competition

  Fri 08 Dec 2017 Mr Clive Rees LSA

  0n 27th November, our EOTAS pupils went to a Dallaglio Rugby Works competition organised by the charitable foundation. The Bridge has worked with this foundation for several years to provide skill development programmes for teenagers outside mainstream school.

  The event was at Rhiwbina RFC and was a touch rugby competition with 8 other schools and projects, 2 of whom were from the Bristol area.

  Jaidon and Owen played for The Bridge and were joined by boys from Tonyrefail School to make up a team and they won all four games!

  Both Jaidon and Owen were very competitive and scored several tries and conversions during the day.

  The Bridge Team then won the quarter and semi finals against Dowland School (Bristol).

  Sadly, The Bridge were beaten in the final by Porth School. All players and staff had a very enjoyable day and benefitted from the experience.

• Our Rights Respecting Schools Journey

  Wed 06 Dec 2017 Mrs Cox-Wall

  The Bridge Alternative Provision is a Rights Respecting School as you know, we are currently working on gaining our next stage award, level 1. This stage is a challenge as the structures are in place but the practice has to be embedded into daily work and school life. We also have a transient population and have to maintain momentum with a turnover of pupils.

  What have we achieved so far this year? Some examples!

  A member of our new EOTAS KS4 group has attended Bridgend Youth Council and shared his experiences of being out of school but still wanting to learn #article28 your right to learn and go to school

  Our KS3 Revolving Door pupils have named and designed a poster for our new “Text&Tell” line for sharing worries about themselves or friends #article19 you should be safe from harm

  Ty Llidiard pupils in our hospital provision have recently been to the cinema to watch a film of their choice with Into Film Cymru, this is a significant challenge for very unwell young people #article 15 you have the right to meet friends and join clubs

  We hope to achieve Stage 1 in the spring term 2018 with continued hard work!
