About the School
Ethel Davis and Hyleford Schools amalgamated with effect
from 1 September 2005 to form a new special school known as
Newbridge School. The school will cater for the same range of
special educational needs as before i.e. those with severe and
complex learning difficulties with associated:
- Physical difficulties
- Sensory impairments
- Medical needs
- Autistic spectrum disorders
The site formerly known as Hyleford School will be known as
Newbridge School - Loxford Lane Campus and Ethel Davis School as
Newbridge School - Barley Lane Campus.
Over the next two to three years, pending on the extension and
remodelling of both sites, it is the intention to reshape provision
so that:
- Loxford Lane Campus (Hyleford School site) will cater for
pupils from Early Years to the end of Key Stage 3
- Barley Lane Campus (Ethel Davis School site) will cater for
pupils between 14 and 21 years of age
We also aim to establish learning bases in a number of
mainstream schools within Redbridge to promote opportunities for
inclusion for some of our pupils.
Hyleford School made provision for students between the ages of
16 and 19 years at a separate unit at Starch House Lane in
Barkingside. This unit closed at the end of the 2004/2005
school year and students not due to leave transferred to the Barley
Lane Campus (Ethel Davis School site) along with Year 11 students
from Hyleford School for the start of the 2005/2006 school
year. All other pupils at Newbridge School remained at their
2004/2005 location for the 2005/2006 school year.
