🥳 YEAR 6 LEAVERS 🥳
Today we said a heartfelt farewell to the very top of our school, our wonderful Year 6 children. Some of you have been with us since your very first day of Reception whilst others joined us along the way, but each of you has left your mark on Bayford.
We’ve loved watching you grow, seeing your confidences blossom, and sharing in your many milestones. The friendships you’ve built, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the memories you’ve created will stay with you forever.
Year 6, we want you to know how incredibly proud we are of every single one of you. You’ve worked so hard, shown resilience, and become role models for the younger children. We have no doubt that each of you is going to absolutely smash it at secondary school. You are all ready for this next chapter, and we can’t wait to hear all about the adventures and opportunities that lie ahead for you.
As you step into this exciting new stage of your lives, remember this: have fun, work hard, be yourselves, and in a world where you can be anything, always choose to be kind.
Thank you for everything you’ve given to our school. We will miss you, but we know the future is bright, and it’s yours for the taking ✨✨

✨ WHAT A NIGHT ✨
Class Three gave an absolutely stunning performance of Macbeth this evening! Every single child shone on stage. The acting was powerful, the singing was sensational, and the teamwork was truly inspiring 🎭🎶
A huge thank you to the incredible staff who supported the children in bringing this production to life, and of course to the stars of the show — our amazing pupils. Your hard work, dedication, and talent made tonight unforgettable.
Bravo to all involved. A show worthy of the Scottish throne indeed! 👑

🌟 A Week of Firsts at Bayford! 🌟
This week has been filled with exciting firsts for many of our children.
On Wednesday, our Class 2 children set off on their two-night residential trip – an especially big milestone for our Year 3s, as for many it was their very first time staying away from home. They were amazing! From abseiling and low ropes to fire building, archery, and more, every child showed incredible determination, perseverance, and teamwork. Most importantly, they had an unforgettable time full of fun and adventure!
Meanwhile, our Year 6 pupils spent Thursday visiting their new secondary schools, taking their first big step toward September and the next chapter of their journey. We were so happy to welcome them back today and hear all about their experiences and excitement for what lies ahead.
We’re so proud of every single one of our superstar students! ✨

SMARTPHONE-FREE CHILDHOOD
Earlier this week an email co-signed by the head teachers of nearly 30 local primary schools expressing support for the Smartphone-free childhood campaign went home to our parents.
Research has shown there are many negative risks when children are exposed to smartphones, which are highly addictive, including poor mental health and depression, exposure to harmful content, including pornography and inappropriate material, reduced attention spans and depleted social skills.
As such, from September 2025, Bayford CofE Primary will be a smartphone-free school for our students, and we encourage all our parents to delay giving their children a smartphone until they reach the age of 14.
Parents who believe their children need to bring a phone into school are welcome to purchase a non-internet connected phone or communication device for their children to bring in.
Already, more than 10% of our Bayford parents have signed the pact for a smartphone-free childhood for their children. This movement can only happen with support from parents and everyone working together to resist pressure from children and their peers to get a smartphone earlier.
We encourage all parents to consider the request and to sign the pact. By working together, a supportive and understanding commitment to providing the right technology at the right time to our children can be established.
You can sign the pact here: hertfordshireparentpact.smartphonefreechildhood.co.uk
If you have any questions about the risks involved with smartphones, or would like to explore alternatives, please reach out to the school who would be happy to discuss this issue.

YEAR 3 MATHS CHALLENGE
On this hot afternoon, some of our young mathematicians from Class 2 took part in the HfL Year 3 Maths Challenge.
They worked together as a team, solving problems that made them think outside of the box. They were challenged to use the maths they knew, but to manipulate it in a different way.
They all did brilliantly, and will find out next week if they’ve made it through to the final. Fantastic work, Year 3!

VEHICLES
Our first week back has seen Class 1 getting creative with their DT ‘Vehicles’ project.
It is super seeing so many individual designs as well as the detail that the children have been putting into their finished projects.
Fantastic work, Class 1!
