I have recently visited Newbridge School in Hollinwood, Oldham. My son, Lucas, attends here so obviously I know already it is such a worthy cause having seen the environment they provide for children with disabilities. I met with the headteacher to see if we could assist in anyway with some community/fundraising with our teams @ Ryder & Dutton Estate Agents. Many of the children who attend the school live in areas where our branches operate. This is an excellent opportunity for our branches to help fundraise to support the children from their area.

Here is a little bit about the schools mission 😊

At the heart of the school’s mission, “Learning together, learning for all, learning for life,” is the belief that all pupils, whatever their background or ability, will be successful and valued.

We provide a stimulating, inspirational environment for all to achieve. Our campus is equipped with specialist support and facilities that meet the individual requirements of our pupils to allow them to flourish. From the bright and attractive classrooms, ICT rooms, theatre, recording studios and hydrotherapy pool, we allow pupils to fully explore their talents and shine in those areas they most enjoy. We also have specialised provision for pupils who may be on the autistic spectrum.

Our curriculum and philosophies provide opportunities for academic and social development to enhance life opportunities. Classes are small and teaching staff work closely alongside support staff to provide the very best learning experience through creative and innovative approaches which support a personalised learning journey.

We are extremely proud of our school, the achievements of our learners, the expertise, dedication and commitment of our staff, our excellent facilities and our reputation for providing an outstanding education to pupils from Oldham and its surrounding boroughs. Ofsted also recognise us as ‘Outstanding’;

WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING?

We would like to create a sensory garden in the school grounds which will be used by all the pupils.This will be added to their timetables as an activity but was actually a thought created as a vision for some of the children who are sadly on end of life care that attend the school.

Staff from Ryder & Dutton Estate Agents are undertaking a sponsored walk from Newbridge School visiting our branches at Chadderton, Oldham, Royton, Shaw and then our Head office on Salmon Fields in Royton which is just over 10miles!!

This will take place on Sunday 18th September 2022 from 10am and we are excited to see the number of sponsors we can get from our colleagues, family and friends to chip away at what is needed for such a worthy cause!
