Bealings School, Woodbridge

In its own words: "Our vision is simple: children are encouraged to feel awe for their environment, to express themselves freely yet sensitively, and to appreciate the contribution of their own ideas and those of others. Our 105 children benefit from a high degree of autonomy and agency, making wise decisions and asking questions of their adults and of each other."

From the headteacher's welcome: "We lcome to our beautiful little school, where our children spend happy days being curious, creative and courageous. We are a close-knit and supportive community of like-minded families for whom learning is all about growing in confidence, nurturing kindness and developing an awareness of, and respect for, the wonderful world around us."

The school runs a breakfast club and after-school care.

Coming up: an open day on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 9.30am and an open day on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 9.30am. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.
