About
First Bridge EDUCATION
First Bridge Education is a leading provider of early intervention and education for children with autism and related developmental conditions. We can support children between the ages of one – nine years old.
We utilise cutting-edge research and an evidence-based practice therapy model to provide intensive therapy, tailored to each child’s individual needs, supporting the development of speech, language, social, play, emotional, and cognitive abilities.
The First Bridge School model synthesises the best-known practice from education, with scientifically validated, evidence-based teaching principles and procedures, to maximise every child’s potential for learning. We are committed to providing high quality education that supports both academic and social development.
Our curricula are bespoke to each child’s needs, motivation, and individual learning trajectory. Our school model integrates academic and personal development. Every child is valued and celebrated for their successes and what these hold for them and their future.
Our curriculum model and learning pathways focus on integrating each child’s individual therapy programme, with carefully selected components from the national curriculum and the overarching culture and ethos of our school. We provide our children with the specialist curriculum and environment they need to thrive and learn, alongside rich and diverse exposure to new knowledge, life and experiences. We emphasise the acquisition of life skills as a crucial component of our curriculum. Always providing just enough support to ensure success, but continually on a journey to independence and fulfilment. We also engage with the wider community to enhance our childrens learning experiences.

What Our Community Says
My 5-year-old autistic son attended the First Bridge Centre for three months this spring. Before FBC, he struggled with echolalia, often repeating questions instead of answering. By the end of the program, he could answer over 80% of questions with “yes” or “no” and learned to recognize and use names. His progress amazed his regular school teachers. I highly recommend the First Bridge Centre.
First Bridge Centre has been a transformative experience for my child. The staff at FBC are exceptionally empathetic and cooperative, giving me complete peace of mind whenever I leave my child in their care. My child feels both safe and happy at the Centre, and I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a supportive environment for a child with autism or other developmental conditions.
FBC is the first educational placement where my son is truly valued. He used to hate going to nursery, but now he wants to go to FBC even on weekends. The professional and well-trained team sees his full potential and tailors a program based on his needs and strengths. His rapid progress has led to an early program revision, and he gains new skills daily. The dedicated team supports him with love and encourages his confidence, while also supporting us as parents. We can’t recommend FBC enough. Thank you for your help and support!
My son has had an amazing experience here. The school is staffed with energetic and highly specialized therapists and teachers who are exceptionally trained in ABA. We have noticed a huge change and great progress. It has been a huge relief to find a school that understands how my son thinks, learns, and meets his needs at this stage in his development.
