Welcome to Bardfield Academy, a school where warmth and inclusivity define our ethos. We take great pride in fostering positive relationships among children, parents, and the entire Team B community. As part of the South Essex Academy Trust (SEAT), we are dedicated to instilling the values of Challenge, Collaboration, Perseverance, and Innovation throughout our curriculum.
Our innovative curriculum utilizes technology to inspire and motivate learning, removing barriers and ensuring learning is accessible to all. We believe in the power of creativity and regularly organise memorable events that allow children to experience and celebrate their learning. We have designed a curriculum that is rich in knowledge and excites the children to want to know more and do more.
At Bardfield Academy, we uphold three fundamental rules: BE SAFE, BE CURIOUS, BE RESPECTFUL. These rules create a safe and clear framework for the positive behaviours we encourage and expect at our school.
We invite you to explore our website, where you’ll find valuable information, but we also encourage you to visit us and come see for yourself why we are proud of our school. If you need further assistance or would like to arrange a tour, please reach out to our school office. Our friendly team is always ready to assist you. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Warm Regards
Miss Donna Dry
