COMMUNITY, PARTNERSHIPS AND OUTREACH Bridge Programme
With the onset of lockdown we were determined to maintain the momentum of the recently launched Bridge Programme and our Bridge sessions quickly went online with children learning mathematics and English and their carousel of subjects through Google Classroom. iPads were lent to families where needed and instead of our ‘Information Afternoon’ we emailed parents advice about applying for bursaries and provided them with booklets about bursaries on offer from 37 independent schools around London.

Once the Summer Term got under way, we were able to deliver live online sessions to the students. To manage the remote sessions as effectively as possible, pupils were divided into smaller groups to tackle task-based challenges and more eager Sixth Form volunteers were recruited to provide additional support. For many Bridge students it was their first experience of live online lessons and remote teaching using Google Classroom.
