From Chair of Governors
Dear Parents and carers,
I am writing to share with you that Mr Chris Bayliss has decided to retire as Headteacher of The Bridge effective from the 31st of August 2026.
Mr Bayliss has been part of the Bridge for over 20 years, serving as Headteacher for the last 12. Leading a Pupil Referral Unit requires a unique level of dedication and Mr Bayliss has been a tireless advocate for all our students over the years offering them a fresh start in education while supporting all their social, emotional, and mental health needs, so they can experience a happy and well balance school life.
