I would like to welcome you to Bedfont Primary School.

It is our aim to develop a successful partnership with you so that your child is given every possible opportunity to succeed and excel. We look forward to developing this partnership.

Bedfont provides a learning environment that is conducive to high standards of work and behaviour and where children can learn to be gradually independent and thrive.

Bedfont Primary School will be the first step on the learning journey of our children and we aim for it to be a positive one.

Children learn in a variety of different ways and we aim to provide experiences that stimulate and inspire. Through sporting endeavours, musical experiences, exciting trips and a dynamic and engaging curriculum,  our children will develop a true love of learning in a safe and nurturing environment.

The dedicated staff of Bedfont Primary School are determined to create an environment that encourages the children to become confident, caring and passionate individuals with pride in themselves and their school. We endeavour to develop children that are leaders in their learning, show resilience in the face of challenges and enjoy coming to school each day.

Believing is achieving

We believe that Bedfont Primary School children are uniquely talented individuals. No matter their starting points, we will nurture their love of learning so they can reach their full potential. We believe that by recognising and celebrating our diverse community, we will create global citizens that can improve their local community and the world around them. We believe that our children should be taught how to be effective team players and excellent leaders. We believe that through challenging learning experiences, our children will develop the resilience to succeed. We believe every child deserves equal opportunities of experience both in and out of school.

We believe our parents have a key role in pupil learning and development. Through school-parent workshops, a resource-rich website and parent-pupil learning experiences, we give our community of parents the skills needed to further enhance their child’s learning.

To reflect the diverse needs of our children and the community they live in, we have created a curriculum that is both broad and balanced. We believe that focusing on oral skills from entry to Bedfont Primary School leads to the language dexterity needed to succeed in our increasingly media-driven society. We believe that learning must have a purpose and that purposeful, intended outcomes motivate children.

Our teachers take a creative approach when planning learning experiences. Learning experiences are challenging opportunities where experimenting, investigating, expressing opinions and making informed choices allow our children become happy confident learners. These experiences can occur in school or out of school.

Bedfont Primary School’s aim is to create a safe and happy learning environment. The children learn the importance of morals so they can be responsible citizens within our community. These are rooted in morals such as honesty, tolerance and respect. We expect our children to be ambitious and trustworthy, taking personal responsibility for their actions.

The staff at Bedfont Primary School put the child at the centre of all they do. We believe that a culture of learning must exist throughout our school so we put a heavy emphasis on staff development and creating school leaders of the future.

We celebrate our successes through the following core values

• Compassion – show kindness and care for others
• Confidence – to try something new and believe that you can achieve
• Creativity – to imagine things differently and better
• Calmness – to be healthy in body and mind
• Co-operation – to work with others in school and our community
• Curiosity – to wonder about the world around and develop a love of learning

CPD is at the forefront of all that we do within school. All staff are encouraged and expected to challenge themselves each year and add to their professional portfolio.

Twilight inset sessions run each week throughout the year and are planned in accordance to the needs of each key stage. In addition, inset days are planned and may be differentiated to meet the needs of all staff members. Our CPD programmes create a coherent and shared sense of purpose across staff, and are clearly related to their everyday experiences and context. 

Middle Leaders are encouraged to complete NPQSL while NQT’s work with their mentors to design tailor made CPD programmes to strengthen their development. We join with other schools for cluster meetings to support and learn from each other and to share good practice.  

Performance Management systems enables staff to work together in identifying starting points, sharing evidence about practice and trying out new approaches. It is both challenging and supportive.

The school works hard to develop successful practitioners and create future school leaders.
