Business Directory

The School Business Directory is a place for the Bridgewater community to search for local businesses that support our school. Our aim is to provide a useful starting point for anyone requiring a service or looking for a particular business provider.

If you would like your business to be featured, please download the application form and return to Caroline Saunders, Marketing & Development Manager. In return, we ask that an annual donation be paid to the Bridgewater School Development Fund which will be put towards our ongoing development programme. The suggested amount is £240 per year, but all contributions will be gratefully accepted.
