Welcome to Senior School

At Bridgewater School, we believe that holistic education is about shaping character as much as achieving results.

Our ethos places equal importance on academic ambition and personal development, ensuring every student is encouraged to explore their potential while fostering respect, resilience and responsibility. By offering a rich variety of team and group activities, alongside outstanding teaching, we empower every individual to flourish, both in and beyond the classroom.
