We are so excited that offers went out to new starters this week and we are looking forward to welcoming our new learners and new and existing families to The Duke of Bedford Primary School.

The first step is to accept your offer of a school place, then, over the coming weeks the school will be in touch with families to share further information and outline opportunities for children and parents to visit school, attend stay and plays, information evenings and transition events. Miss Cunningham will also be contacting pre school settings to go and visit children at their current settings too.

For more opportunities to meet staff, parents and be part of the school community, why not come and visit us at Open Farm weekend at Park Farm on 6th and 7th June or come along to our School Summer Fair on 10th July.

Follow our page for updates and please do get in contact with any questions.
