Our Story
The Bridge Easton School is a complex needs school which opened in Easton, Norfolk in January 2023. The school has been on a growth plan and our final increase is this September. The school provides education for 187 children and young people with severe cognition and learning difficulties, and autism. As a school, we work with our pupils, their families and other professionals within education, health, and care to support our children and young people to have a successful journey through their education. In addition to the main school, we offer our Base provision where classes offer a bespoke education to children and young people with very high complex needs and autism who require a smaller class environment and often a 1-2-1 staff ratio.
