About Bridge Academy Trust

Moulsham High School is part of the Bridge Academy Trust.

"It is a privilege to have Moulsham High School as part of Bridge Academy Trust, which currently has 12 schools within it, 8 Primary Schools and 4 Secondary Schools. Bridge Academy Trust has as its key focus; The journey of the child (throughout their education); and The Communities our schools serve; and is committed to ensuring that every person who attends a school within the trust has a high quality experience. 

"The Strategic Plan (available on our website) sets out, for all to see, very clearly what our intentions are to be an outstanding trust. The transparency in what we are trying to achieve and on how we will be judged is important to us, and encourages true partnership and commitment from all stakeholders, for the benefit of all.

"Bridge Academy Trust has achieved much in a very short period of time through strong leadership, clear values and the engagement and collaboration of all schools within the Trust. We believe our objectives and priorities are challenging but realistic and look forward to all our stakeholders engaging with our vision and helping us to realise our ambitions."
