Bride School to close today
In the same week that Park Road School shut its doors for the final time, tomorrow will see Bride School close, after serving the community for well over a century.
It was announced in February that the school which houses infants would be forced to close as it was no longer deemed viable.
Only ever a small school, it saw its students numbers dwindle over the years, with only three pupils attending the facility currently - they will be relocated to Andreas.
Head teacher Bronwen Udy told us that although drastic action was anticipated, it was still a shock to have the closure confirmed:(play media file below)
The life of the School and its contribution to the community will be celebrated today at St Bridget's Church.
