It’s a relief when I speak to a consultant from Bridge Education because I know they are not going to give me the sales pitch. Instead, they do what I need them to do which is listen to me and what my school need.

I feel finding a supply teacher is a huge responsibility, some agencies don’t complete their clearance for work procedures which I find very concerning.

Bridge Education are the best supply teacher agency we have used because they send teaching staff with the right skills for the job.

Bridge Education are the best supply teacher agency we have used because they send teaching staff with the right skills for the job. I hate to see a supply teacher without the relevant experience and skills for what we need, it makes life difficult and means the pupils don’t get the quality teaching they deserve. I wish more agencies could be like Bridge Education. Stephen, Secondary School, Lancashire

What I like about Bridge Education is that you can tell that they look after their supply teaching staff well. The supply staff from Bridge are enthusiastic and accommodating.

What I like about Bridge Education is that you can tell that they look after their supply teaching staff well. My experience in the past is that other agencies can short-change their supply staff and not pay them the going rates which can lead to grumpy supply teachers – the last thing we need. The supply staff from Bridge are enthusiastic and accommodating. Tony, Secondary School, Lancashire
