The first Church of England schools taught children who were poor with little or no opportunity for social mobility. This starting point has led to the development of schools that now serve their local communities. Great Bedwyn Church of England School provides a high standard of education to all the children who attend from the village and the neighbouring area, regardless of the religious beliefs or otherwise of their parents.
As a Church school we are committed to maintaining a high quality of teaching and the fostering of a safe environment where pupils feel happy, secure and valued. Both of these aims remain a significant strength of the school as highlighted by our Ofsted inspection.
Our spiritual values are:
Friendship | Respect |Responsibility | Love | Kindness | Forgiveness
In addition to being inspected by Ofsted church schools have a SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection every five years. This evaluates the effectiveness of the school’s Christian distinctiveness in enabling children to flourish. Last inspected in March 2018, Great Bedwyn CofE School was judged to be an ‘Outstanding’ school.
