In their award findings report, they stated

Newcastle Bridges School is a school of hope. It is a school that is dedicated to developing and enhancing inclusive practice. Staff are committed to an innovative and relentless approach to find ways to break down barriers to enable children to reach their potential and succeed in school. One pupil summed it up perfectly when they said, ‘Not one size fits all and this school looks at what we need and meets our needs.’ Another simply said, ‘This is a close knit, inclusive school.’
