The Tor Bridge Partnership comprises four schools with a single governing body. The schools; Tor Bridge High, Tor Bridge Primary, Plym Bridge Nursery School and Children’s Centre and Downham School (currently in Plymstock until it moves in summer 2012) are located on one brand new campus at Estover in north-east Plymouth, built as a Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project between 2009 and 2012.

 

We are an extremely ambitious team; the design and operational purpose of Tor Bridge is to give learners of all ages in all four schools access to all of the facilities on site. All of the facilities and resources are therefore jointly owned by the Partnership.

The Tor Bridge Partnership (TBP) is both a governing body and a limited company. It has twenty directors, five from each of the four schools, one of which (Tor Bridge High) is a converter academy. It meets four times a year.

 

Each school has its own expert governor committee typically comprising five or six full governors and a number of associates who provide specific advice and information. Committees meet six times each year.

 

The Leadership Team (Bridgehead) comprises the headteachers of the four Partnership schools and is led by Executive Principal Graham Browne, who until August 2011 was Principal of Tor Bridge High. Lynda Chapman (early years), Liz Dunstan (secondary), Mike Loveman (special) and Cathryn Tompkins (primary) are supported by Ann Beasley, project manager for the new build.
