The Bridge Academy has a new, inspiring school building in Laburnum Street, South Hackney. Its innovative design and sense of light and space makes it friendly and welcoming. The first class facilities for students and staff makes it a fantastic place to learn. The building helps create the school community and to make the school part of the wider community.
The school’s central square is its social hub where activities take place to bring students and staff together as well as hosting events for the community and visitors. Many of the teaching areas on the upper floors look out over the Regent’s Canal. The classrooms vary in shape and size and a number of them can be adapted quickly for small or large groups. This flexibility will help the school as the number of students grows.
