From the Bell Farm Primary School
We have two Bell Farm minibuses that provide us the freedom to transport kids to and from different outings and events thanks to the hard fundraising efforts of our Friends of Bell Farm.
Our drivers are all Bell Farm employees who have completed minibus driver training and hold valid licences.
We conduct a variety of seasonal after-school and lunchtime clubs over the course of the three terms to get the kids involved in extracurricular activities.
All clubs are supervised by Bell Farm employees, are open to everyone, and last until 4.30 p.m.
It is a forest school, Bell Farm.
The philosophy of forest schools is to encourage everyone participating to learn about their immediate environment and to develop risk management skills.
The Forest Schools leader will pre-assess dangers, but kids will learn how to make wise decisions about their own safety and the safety of their group.
Bell Farm is very fortunate to have its own Forest Schools location, and in the future, we plan to create programmes in the forests of Whiteley Village as well.

The Friends of Bell Farm School work tirelessly to generate money for a variety of school-related projects and to help provide equipment and facilities for the use of all the students.
