Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our partners say:
Creative Bridges offers our students valuable life experiences and skills training, the like of which we couldn’t possibly offer at school. The students develop their independence and they experience, in a safe space, what will be like to transition to life after formal education. That they can work with professionals in a rewarding, creative way is the icing on the cake
Helen Bishton
Baginton Fields School
We can see progress with regards to the independence they are showing in their regular attendance on the course as well as increased confidence in the use of ICT and communicating with new people. We particularly wanted these learners to participate as we could see they had a lot of potential to prosper in a different, creative setting and saw it as a fantastic opportunity to get a head start with their transition to post-school, adult life.
Sam Kendal
Sherbourne Fields School
It’s been absolutely pivotal for our students. These are students that the local authority can’t place due to behavioural challenges and complex needs they can’t take part in mainstream learning. This is the first time our students have been able to go off site and carry out transitional activity. It’s been a huge step. And on top of that to come away with a qualification, to succeed. They’ve never had that opportunity before, to engage with people, professionals in their field, and to come away with a qualification in their own right, is huge, a massive achievement, so we can’t thank the Herbert enough
