HOT HOT HOT!!
This week's sunshine has certainly kept everyone on their toes!
Our EYFS children have had the right idea about how to spend their time in this heat, with lots of water play and paddling to keep cool!
We have been so proud of all our children this week. Despite the exceptionally hot weather, they have shown fantastic resilience, adapted brilliantly to the changing routines, and continued to work hard and enjoy their learning. Staff have made every effort to keep classrooms and activities as cool and comfortable as possible, ensuring learning could continue safely throughout the week.
A huge thank you to all our parents and carers for helping to keep our children safe and comfortable during this exceptionally hot week. From applying sun cream before school, sending in sun hats, water bottles and cool clothing, to supporting us with our hot weather arrangements, your help has been greatly appreciated ❤️
We hope everyone manages to stay cool and enjoys a lovely weekend when it comes! ☀️

Welcome to Bayford Church of England Primary School & Nursery
Welcome and thank you for your interest in our school! At Bayford we create a caring, family atmosphere under-pinned by our Christian values. We aim to develop each child’s talents and abilities, providing opportunities for every individual to be a happy, confident, resilient, and enthusiastic learner, ensuring they have the skills needed to achieve their full potential. We have a range of facilities, which include a field, ponds, and woodland area which allow us to provide fantastic opportunities for learning outside the classroom, enhancing the engaging curricular and extra-curricular activities that we provide for our children.
Pupils enjoy learning a broad range of subjects. Across the curriculum, most pupils achieve well.

We are a Church of England School
We belong to the Church of England and the vision and values which underpin everything we do are founded on Christian faith. But far from making us exclusive, that faith makes us an inclusive, community school. We believe that God loves each and every individual, regardless of their faith or their lifestyle and choices: so we are here to live out that love and play our part in enriching the lives of everyone who comes to our school, whether as a child or as an adult, a member of staff, parent, or volunteer. That is what we were founded to do almost two hundred years ago, and that remains central to our vision today.
