Part of the Keys Education family
It is my pleasure to welcome you to North Bridge Enterprise College. Since opening in 2013, our college has been dedicated to supporting pupils who have faced, or are at risk of, permanent exclusion due to challenging behaviours. We also cater to those who require more specialised interventions than what mainstream colleges can offer.
At North Bridge Enterprise College, we provide a safe and nurturing learning environment designed to re-engage students in their education. Our focus is on preparing them for post-16 opportunities, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and confidence to thrive in their future endeavours.

Welcome to North Bridge Enterprise College. Since our opening in 2013, we have dedicated ourselves to providing a safe and nurturing educational environment for pupils who have faced, or are at risk of, permanent exclusion from mainstream education due to challenging behaviours. Our mission is to re-engage students in their learning, with a strong focus on preparing them for post-16 opportunities.
Aims
At North Bridge, our aim is clear: "Providing a pathway to engage, educate, and empower." We strive to deliver an excellent education while supporting our pupils as they re-establish their connection with learning. We empower them to build their self-esteem and identity, enabling them to reach their full potential. Our goal is to create a safe and enjoyable learning environment that offers the best possible education and opportunities, ensuring our students are well-prepared for the challenges of post-16 education and beyond.

Pupils
We cater to pupils aged 14-16 years, both male and female, who are at risk of or have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools. The reasons for exclusion can vary, but they often stem from challenging behaviours that we are equipped to address.

Mark H, ParentI can’t thank Keys enough for the care and support they’ve provided for my daughter. The staff are always attentive, and they genuinely listen to her needs. She has made amazing progress in both her education and personal growth, and I see a brighter future for her every day. Keys has truly changed our lives for the better.
We welcome referrals and enquiries from parents and local authorities. To discuss how Keys Education can support your child, please contact us using the form below or reach out to our admissions team directly.
Parents, carers, or local authorities can contact us to discuss the needs of the child.
We ask the person wishing to commission the placement (normally the Local Authority) sends over relevant information, such as, EHCP, previous school reports, professionals reports.
This allows us to conduct a thorough assessment to determine if we are the right provision to meet needs.
Once we feel needs can be met, we work closely with all parties to facilitate the placement process. If the Local Authority request the place, this is subject to funding being agreed at a panel meeting.
After admission, we provide continuous support to ensure the child settles in well and their needs are met.
