A Fresh Start at Bailey Street
This September, staff and pupils at Bailey Street Alternative Provision Academy have returned to a truly transformed school environment — thanks to the dedication and leadership of Business Manager, Sam Tooby, and her team, who worked tirelessly throughout the summer holidays.
The result? A beautiful, modernised school that inspires learning, wellbeing, and pride.

A Space to Belong and Grow
The new provision isn’t just about facilities — it’s about creating an environment where staff and pupils feel valued, supported, and inspired. From the vibrant wall art to the calm of the nurture room, every detail reflects Bailey Street’s commitment to helping pupils succeed.
A huge thank you to Sam Tooby and everyone involved in making this vision a reality. The results are stunning — and we can’t wait to see the difference it makes every day.
