At Burscough Bridge Methodist School we are fortunate to have a very active Governing Body which supports the school community to enrich the lives of all involved. We are a thriving, child friendly school where our pupils achieve and benefit greatly from good teaching enhanced by the caring-trusting relationships staff have developed with the children and their families. Our school has a strong reputation within the village as a school that delivers child-centred pastoral care with high expectations.
