    Welcome to Bredhurst C of E Primary School

Our caring, nurturing school has established a warm and welcoming environment where all pupils are encouraged to aim high and achieve to their full potential across all areas of school life.

As a Christian school, our school values of self-control, perseverance, inspiration, respect, inclusion and trust lie at the heart of our school ethos, helping to guide our children through their learning journey through their time at our school and beyond.

We provide a high quality education to all our pupils, helping them to learn as lifelong learners and future citizens.

Our rich, engaging, bespoke curriculum is designed to inspire all our children, preparing them for their future through a variety of meaningful learning opportunities. It is enriched with trips, visits, productions and extra curricular activities. We offer opportunities for all our children to excel in a variety of ways. Our children experience a bold and creative curriculum.  A feeling of fun, excitement, care and respect is embedded in our learning opportunities as children learn at their best in a supportive, safe, environment where they are excited by their learning.

At Bredhurst C of E Primary School, we ensure success and achievement for all by working in close partnership with parents and families. Family support is intrinsic to children achieving their best. We firmly believe in 'Parents as Partners'.

Bredhurst School is a vital part of the local community, working alongside the church, the village community, parents and families to enhance and enrich children's learning and to develop and foster relationships within our local community.

Children flourish at Bredhurst School as we are a small, caring, nurturing school who truly know each child.

With warm regards

Covid 19 - Update

As we are about to enter the colder part of the school year and covid appears to once again to be on the rise, I thought it may be useful to remind you of the governments advice:

• If a child or young person has a positive COVID-19 test result they should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test, if they can.
• After 3 days, if they feel well and do not have a high temperature, the risk of passing the infection on to others is much lower. This is because children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults.
• Children and young people who usually go to school, college or childcare and who live with someone who has a positive COVID-19 test result should continue to attend as normal.

For adults the advice is:

• If you have a positive COVID-19 test result, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test.
• At the end of this period, if you have a high temperature or feel unwell, try continue to avoid contact with other people until you feel well enough to resume normal activities and you no longer have a high temperature if you had one.
