"Some lovely aspects, but areas for improvement"
We're generally pleased with Bayford, the staff are friendly and our child enjoys the lessons. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times and there could be more opportunities for parent involvement.

"A happy and inclusive school"
My child has thrived at Bayford, the flexible wraparound care has been a lifesaver for us. The Christian values are lovely and it's great to see the kids applying them in their everyday lives. We're really grateful to be part of this community.

"A special school with a caring atmosphere"
We were so impressed with Bayford when our daughter attended nursery, the woodland area and ponds are wonderful for learning. The staff are dedicated and go above and beyond to support the kids. We've kept in touch with many of the families and it's still like one big happy family.
