 Ofsted Inspection report June 2024

"Bawdsey Primary School is a nurturing place to learn. Pupils have respectful relationships with staff, who care for them well. Staff are committed to helping pupils gain a strong sense of community and belonging. Pupils are happy and safe. The school has high expectations for all pupils to achieve. Pupils apply themselves to their learning. They get the support they need to learn well... Pupils are polite and well-mannered. They listen well and know how to conduct themselves. In the early years, children settle quickly into school routines. They are independent, confident learners. Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and visits. A range of well-structured opportunities help pupils to learn about life beyond their community. Pupils visit historical sites, national museums and local town cathedrals. The inclusive culture ensures that all pupils represent their school in sporting events, such as athletics and ten-pin bowling. Pupils relish learning about their local area. They take part in ‘beach school’, where they learn about the habitat and how to stay safe at the beach."

Bawdsey Primary was also inspected by Ofsted in July 2014, when the school was once again rated as Good, and Outstanding in pupils' attitude to learning & pupils behaviour. The full Ofsted report is available here.

Parent View

Ofsted Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think of your child’s school, including: 

 - how happy your child is at the school

 - how the school manages bullying or challenging behaviour  

If your child has special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), we will ask how well the school supports them. 

The questionnaire can be completed at any time - you don’t have to wait until the school is being inspected. 

We will use your responses to help us plan inspections. The information you provide can:  

- inform discussions inspectors have with school leaders during an inspection  

 - help Ofsted decide when to inspect a school   

In addition to this, we also publish the overall summary of the responses to Ofsted Parent View. This information is anonymised.
