New Bridge Pathways Blog Post - 13.11.2026

The end of the school week landed on Friday 13th and it was unlucky for some of our technical systems as Microsoft experienced a global outage of service. This did cause the site a few issues in relation to our communication channels, but I'm glad to say that we are back online just in time to bring you this week's blog.  

On Tuesday, we held a "Coffee and Cake" day in aid of Macmillan. Pupils and staff were waited on by our Hospitality & Catering hosts and treated to a range of hot drinks and homemade baked goods. A phenomenal £171.19 was raised.  

Our wider community impact continued on Friday as pupils raised another £71 for Children In Need through a 'Non-Uniform' day 

A massive thank you for your generosity and support of these wonderful causes 

Please prepare yourself for the cold snap that is forecast in the next few days, and ensure that extra care is taken on icy surfaces.  

Enjoy your weekend – stay safe

Children in Need

During Children in Need today, our students had a competition to see who could draw the best Pudsey Bear! The competition was fierce, with lots of excellent drawings making it incredibly hard for Mr. Banks and Miss. Brown to decide on a winner. After much deliberation, two very talented artists came out on top. We are very proud of all of our students for having a go!

CL2

This week in Science CL2 have been looking at the Human Body and discussing what organs we have inside and what their functions are. We used playdough to model our organs and place them in their respective place. 

In Pathways we have been practising with our musical tubes for our upcoming Wacky and Wonderful engagement day. 

Have a great weekend all 😊

Digi 2

This week Digi 2 have been learning all about Remembrance Day. In order to commemorate the soldiers who have died in combat, the class participated in the two minute silence. They were all very respectful. Afterwards they then made their own paper poppies.  

Some students followed an origami tutorial which some students found challenging but everyone showed resilience and persevered. Other students showed off their creativity and made their own unique poppy designs. We then placed the poppies around to classrooms to remind us of the sacrifice that the soldiers made during the First World War.

H&C

This week H&C have worked tirelessly! They gave up their options to prepare a mountain of baked goods and sweet treats from scratch for the Macmillan coffee morning before pulling a mammoth 6 hr shift to make sure the day went without a hitch. So many compliments and a very proud staff team, well done guys you rocked it. Imagary of the day will be uploaded next week 

As if this wasn’t enough that group also continued their learning all week including a trip to the ICC in the town centre as part of our living skills topic, accessing medical services.
