Welcome to Alt Bridge School

Welcome from the Headteacher

Alt Bridge School is a thriving and highly regarded specialist provision in Knowsley for students aged 11 to 19. We are proud to be a designated setting for learners with Autism, with moderate or specific learning difficulties. Every pupil matters to us, and we share a relentless commitment to helping each individual achieve their very best outcomes.

Our ethos is built on strong relationships and preparing pupils for life beyond school. We focus on developing independence, nurturing positive wellbeing, and equipping every young person with the skills they need to succeed on their personal pathway. Through a curriculum enriched with meaningful experiences, we aim to build secure foundations in communication, core skills, personal independence, and a deep respect for diversity.

Partnership is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with parents and carers, alongside a wide range of specialist services, to provide the highest standards of care and support. Together, we help every pupil grow in confidence and find their voice.

As Ofsted noted in 2023:
“Pupils love being a part of Alt Bridge School. Strong relationships between staff and pupils are pivotal to the success of this school. Pastoral care is exemplary, and pupils feel happy and safe. This is because pupils know that staff care for them and will support them with any worries that they may have.”

We look forward to welcoming you and working together to ensure every young person flourishes.
