About Bridge Learning Campus
Bridge Learning Campus is a state secondary in Bristol that clearly appeals to local families, despite some mixed signals in its performance data. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 193 applications for 93 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.08, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 109 put it as their first preference, and 91 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests parents see something valuable here, even if the raw numbers don't tell the whole story. The school is all-through, taking pupils from age 3 to 16, and has a nursery provision, which may be a practical draw for families wanting continuity. With 56.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a significantly disadvantaged catchment, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes. That's a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when it was rated Inadequate overall.
