General information

Background: Bamford Primary is housed in two main school buildings. The older, stone building dates from 1880 and incorporates classrooms, toilets and cloakroom facilities for younger children, together with a hall which is used as a dining room and for PE and games, plays, singing, music and dance. The other building was opened in 1973 and extended in 1982, and offers accommodation including classrooms, a library, staffroom, wet area and cloakroom. There are two large playgrounds and the whole school is surrounded by 'beautiful' lawns and gardens. In 1984, the school built a pond and this is used as a resource for science and environmental studies. Set in the heart of the 'magnificent scenery' of the Peak District, the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs are located nearby. The curriculum is based on the core subjects of the National Curriculum, however French is also taught. The school also offers a range of extra-curricular activites which include football, netball, table tennis, running, cycling proficiency, chess, athletics, musical instrument tuition, country dancing and drama. There are 'strong' links with the village community and funds are raised for a variety of charities at least three times a year. The school has a qualified special educational needs (SEN) teacher who is responsble for providing support to groups of children in the afternoons.
