The leaves are falling all around, signalling the transition from Autumn to Winter as we head into our second half term. And what an exciting 7 weeks we have ahead of us!

From Science and Technology days, to outdoor learning, to multiple musical opportunities for every child in the school, we are so excited for all the enriching learning opportunities taking place this half term for our students.

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 are well mannered,
confident and articulate;
eager to share their creative
ideas for the school.

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.
