About Bedfield Church of England Primary School

Bedfield Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school received Good marks across all four graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a small rural primary with just 21 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, so class sizes are very small and individual attention is baked into the school's structure. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 data: the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 58, and while Bedfield's own figure isn't listed here, the school's improvement trajectory under headteacher Imogen Wallis suggests a focus on raising standards. The Parent View survey, completed by 20 respondents between September 2024 and September 2025, shows overwhelming satisfaction: 100% of parents would recommend the school, and 80% strongly agreed their child is happy and feels safe.
