"Mixed feelings about Badock's Wood"

My son started at Badock's Wood Pre-School and we've had a bit of a mixed experience. The facilities are great and the teachers seem lovely, but sometimes the communication with parents has been a bit lacking. I'm hoping things will improve as he moves up to Year 1.

"Excellent education, fantastic community"

My son left Badock's Wood last year and is now at secondary school. He still talks about the amazing experiences he had at Badock's Wood, from the Microsoft Incubator School programs to the Oracy Centre of Excellence. The parents' community is also very supportive and welcoming.

"Best school in Bristol!"

My daughter has been at Badock's Wood since Year 3 and has truly thrived. The wraparound care is amazing and the free breakfast club is a lifesaver. The staff are always approachable and supportive, and the values of Be Safe, Be Kind, and Try Your Hardest are truly embedded in everything they do.
