There are too many best things to note (about BPS) ! Here are a few reasons - The welcoming and friendly approach that is given to every child and their parents. The way that children’s individual talents are supported and celebrated. The overall friendly ethos of the school.

The best thing about BPS is...'The outstanding efforts from staff that go in to planning lessons giving the children a great start in education. The communication between staff and home via Class Dojo.

"Just wanted to say what a wonderful day we had with your lovely class on Wednesday. We have a lot of visitors to the farm, and your little guys really stood out -for the right reasons.

After you had left, we were all chatting about how well-behaved they were, and all the of staff members commented about the high standard of manners. But the thing I wanted to feed back, was that the staff all felt that the very natural way you dealt with the children, and the kindness that oozed out of you, and the other staff, was probably what made them so relaxed and happy in their own skins!"

"I just wanted to express my appreciation for the fantastic job Miss Miller has done in getting the Year 6s ready for their SATS. I'm sure it's no easy task.

When talking with other parents I haven't heard a single mention of any child feeling worried or stressed at all about them. They all seem to be taking it in their strides and see it as part of their normal school life.  I can see first-hand that Connor has dealt with this well thanks to the preparation effort made.

Regardless of results, as a parent, I think this speaks volumes in itself about the school and should certainly be acknowledged.

Thanks again to Miss Miller and all the other staff that have helped with this."
