Love Your School! We would love to hear your positive feedback about our school. We are proud of what we do well and whilst we spend a lot of time collecting views on what we can improve it is always good to understand what we do well and what our community values most.

This week KS2 were thrilled to welcome Fizzpop Science to Bedonwell Junior School!  The children were amazed as they watched some incredible experiments during the assembly – it was a truly electrifying show! The reactions were priceless, and it was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and excited about science. A big thank you to Fizzpop Science for inspiring our young scientists! 

We are proud to celebrate Bedonwell’s achievement of the Bronze Rights Respecting Award 🎉 This important milestone recognises our commitment to promoting children’s rights and creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where every voice matters. Achieving Bronze shows that we are building a strong foundation of awareness around the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and we look forward to continuing this journey together as a community. We are now on the way to achieving the Silver Award.

In English, Year 4 are writing their own quest stories. To make the task more exciting and help inspire their writing, the children were set a real-life quest around the school. They had to search for mythical creatures that had been hidden in different locations, following clues and using their imaginations to bring the adventure to life. This activity encouraged them to explore key elements of quest stories, such as adventure, setting, and characters, while sparking ideas for their own creative writing. 

We are happy to welcome children who wish to ride their scooters and bikes to school. However, for everyone’s safety, children and adults must not ride their scooters or bikes around the KS2 playground or in our busy infant and junior milling areas before and after school. These areas can become crowded, and riding could lead to accidents or injuries. We appreciate your support in helping us keep our playgrounds safe for all our children and adults. 

It is really important for all children to drink water throughout the day, which is why children need to bring a water bottle into school. However, can we please ask that children only bring in either a disposable plastic or re-usable plastic water bottle. 

Some children are bringing in large metal water bottles which when knocked over can cause disruption in the class. 

Please can we also ask that Airup water bottles are not brought into school, these are expensive and can sometimes be knocked over in a busy classroom and damaged or broken.
