bridge house independent school
Boston
Bridge House specialises in offering support to primary and secondary aged
pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. We
understand that, for some young people, their prior experience of school has not
been positive, often resulting in disengagement and a general lack of enthusiasm
towards education. At Bridge House, our holistic approach seeks to work together
with the young person and their family to find ways of engaging them back into a
learning environment which specifically meets their needs. Putting our students
at the heart of everything we do, we provide each child entrusted to us with an
engaging curriculum, delivered within a nurturing atmosphere, which meets both
their academic and pastoral needs whilst supporting them to raise their
aspirations and fulfil their potential. We understand that behavioural
difficulties can arise as a response to emotional stress. We teach our students
the emotional literacy and self-regulation skills they need to manage stress,
and their responses to it. In addition, we help them to increase their
self-esteem and pride by rewarding positive behaviours though a comprehensive
rewards scheme which is specifically tailored to the needs of the individual
student.
