We nurture the minds and hearts of all our children, encouraging them to become resilient and successful individuals. Through our teaching and guidance, we help them to be the best they can be, enabling them to make a positive contribution to the local community and the wider world.
Our Aims
At Great Bardfield, we are dedicated to promoting the holistic development of our children, nurturing their emotional, intellectual, social, physical, and behavioural growth. Our goal is to deliver an outstanding education for every child, offering a broad and balanced curriculum that empowers them to acquire and retain essential skills, preparing them for the next stage of their educational journey. We aspire to inspire our children to become well-rounded, respectful, and engaged members of society, equipped with the skills, values, and confidence necessary to flourish in a constantly evolving world.
Our Values
All that we do at Great Bardfield Primary School is underpinned by our three core values of Courage, Compassion and Community.
Courage
Courage in learning is essential at Great Bardfield Primary School as it empowers our children and staff to take risks, ask questions, and embrace challenges without fear of failure. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones, whether it’s trying out a new skill, presenting our ideas, or tackling a difficult problem. By fostering a culture of bravery, we hope to understand that mistakes are valuable learning opportunities, and that perseverance in the face of difficulties is a vital part our journey.
Compassion
Showing compassion leads to a supportive and nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and understood. By encouraging empathy and kindness at Great Bardfield Primary School, we create a culture where children and staff are motivated to help one another, ask for help when needed, and celebrate each other’s successes. This compassionate approach not only enhances social connections but also enriches our experiences. We feel safe to express our thoughts and ideas and try our best to be caring and responsible members of our community.
Community
At Great Bardfield Primary School, the value of community is paramount to fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. Our children, staff, parents and local organisations collaborate to create a supportive network that enhances our children’s experiences and creates a rich, purposeful learning environment. This sense of belonging and purpose motivates our children to explore new ideas and perspectives but also empowers them to develop strong social skills and empathy for others. By working together, we cultivate a vibrant and supportive community that inspires lifelong learning and helps our children thrive both academically and personally.
