Support for families on National Offer Day

Monday 2nd March 2026 is National Offer Day – a big milestone for families as they find out which secondary school their child has been allocated for September.

For many, it is exciting news and the start of a new chapter. For others, it may not feel quite as hoped. If today hasn’t brought the outcome your family were wishing for, please know that you are not alone and there are still positive options available.

At Bridgewater School, we understand how important these next steps are. Choosing the right secondary school is about so much more than a place – it is about finding an environment where your child feels supported, valued and inspired to flourish to the very best of their abilities.

We have a limited number of places remaining for Year 7 this September. If you would like to explore whether Bridgewater could be the right fit for your family, we warmly invite you to arrange a personal visit and discuss our entrance process.

You can find out more information on our admissions page or contact us directly at admin@bwslive.co.uk or call 0161 794 1463.

We would be delighted to welcome you and talk through how we can support your child’s next chapter.

Pupils' experiences are enriched by an extensive range of visits and extra-curricular activities.
