The school's focus on international links is really interesting and our child loves learning about different cultures. However, we've sometimes struggled to get in touch with the teachers and feel that the curriculum could be more varied. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement. *(Sep 2022)* - **4/5** — Excellent facilities and values: Our child is thriving at Bawdeswell Primary and we're so impressed with the school's emphasis on teamwork and kindness.
