Open Days at First Bridge School
Welcoming enquiries for 2025–26 enrolment!
What Can You Expect at the First Bridge School Open Day?
Our Open Day is designed for families with children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and are either ready to name a school or are exploring a change of placement. It offers an opportunity to experience the calm and consistent environment that defines First Bridge School, where children with autism and related special educational needs and developmental conditions aged 2 to 9 can learn, grow and thrive through the evidenced-based principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).
You will have the chance to explore our classrooms, see our teachers and ABA therapists in action, and see how early, individualised support builds lasting confidence and independence.

What Happens During the Open Day?
Each tour will be led by our Clinical Lead and Head of Admissions and it offers a focused and informative experience for families with children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) considering First Bridge School.

You will see how we combine evidence-based stratagies with teaching to create a structured yet nurturing environment where every child can make meaningful progress.
How Does First Bridge School Support Children with EHCPs?
As an SEN and autism specialist school in London, our tailored programmes are designed around each child’s EHCP outcomes. Through close collaboration between teachers, therapists and families, we help children develop communication, social and independence skills that lay strong foundations for lifelong learning.
Our small class sizes and high staff-to-pupil ratio ensure that every child receives the individual attention they need.
How Can I Register for the Open Day?
Places are limited to ensure each family receives dedicated time and space during their visit.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping you explore whether First Bridge School could be the right next step for your child.
