Bridge College proudly unveils its spectacular new reading haven, a perfect retreat for students to unwind with a great book.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As the days grow shorter and colder, the Bridge Caf\u00e9 has been transformed into a cosy library space. Now, students can savour steaming hot chocolate and delicious snacks while diving into an incredible selection of fiction and non-fiction treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark this exciting occasion, students participated in a creative challenge to design the library’s new sign. Among many creative entries, Millie M’s design stood out and will proudly adorn the library door. Congratulations, Millie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Cannon, Principal and Sara Bayley, Executive Headteacher, had the joyous responsibility of officially announcing the library as \u201cOpen!\u201d and they were met with a raucous round of applause from staff and students alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
