2025 Bridgewater Colours awarded

At Bridgewater School we are proud to celebrate the many ways in which our students contribute to the life of our school and the wider community. One of the most important ways we do this is through the Bridgewater Colours programme – an award which acknowledges not only excellence and commitment, but also the positive representation of Bridgewater within and beyond the classroom.

What are Bridgewater Colours?

Launched in 2022, the Bridgewater Colours initiative was created to recognise students who consistently demonstrate dedication, perseverance and achievement across a broad range of areas. While academic success remains central to school life, we also value the wider experiences that allow our pupils to flourish – from performing on stage to competing on the sports field, taking part in national competitions or fundraising for important causes.

Bridgewater Colours are awarded inclusively, with recognition spanning all interests and disciplines. Students who earn this honour are those who have gone above and beyond in representing our school, often giving up their own time to contribute to a host of activities such as school productions and performances, sports teams, competitions, event and charitable fundraising.

In doing so, they not only achieve personal success but also inspire those around them, strengthening the sense of pride and community at Bridgewater.

Half Colours and Full Colours

The award scheme recognises sustained commitment over time:

  • Half Colours are presented at the end of Year 9 to students who have met the criteria throughout Key Stage 3.
  • Full Colours are awarded at the end of Year 11 to students who have continued to meet the criteria across Key Stages 3 and 4.

Recognising positive influence

We warmly congratulate all those awarded Bridgewater Colours in 2025 – a reflection of their hard work, talent and the positive influence they bring to our community.

Our highly experienced teaching team is committed to bringing hidden talent and undiscovered potential out into the light.
