At the Bridge Achievement Centre there is an acute awareness of the specific needs of our pupils. As such, the holistic development, academic and emotional well-being is a feature that is planned for in our teaching and learning. All staff are aware that they are preparing learners to be:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work
• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

There is a strong focus in planning to develop pupils' confidence, skills and knowledge, both through the subjects they learn and through well-established opportunities for all pupils to access life skills and wider learning. Subject leaders mentor and lead on key areas that develop teaching and learning. In order for staff to feel confident, they are required to become accountable for their own professional learning and development.
