Dear Visitor,
Welcome to our website! It gives you just a glimpse of what it means to be to be part of the Bishops Lydeard Church School community.
Our vision of ‘Life in all it’s fullness’ runs through all that we do and seek to achieve. We have high expectations for the children’s progress and development both academically and emotionally. Our values of ‘Respect, Endurance and Friendship’ are also central to our culture and ethos and are a very much lived experience.
If you would like to know more about us or the way in which we are working to reach our aspirations for the children please do get in contact, we would be glad to speak to you.
I am honoured to extend a warm welcome to all of you as we embark on another exciting year at Bishops Lydeard Church School. As your Executive Headteacher, I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful school and community.
In my role as Executive Headteacher, I will be working closely with Mr Dakin to provide strategic direction and support to our teachers and staff. Together, we will build upon the school’s past successes and embark on the next phase of our journey. Since 2019, I have worked an Executive Headteacher within the Bath and Wells Trust, this year I am leading three other schools alongside Bishops Lydeard Church School. This means that my time is divided among the four schools. During my days at Bishops Lydeard, I will also welcoming children at ‘the school gate’ and available to chat with families. Please feel free to approach me with any questions you may have or just come and say ‘hello’.
Joe Beament, Executive Headteacher
