Platinum Jubilee Torch Relay - our involvement
A 550-mile torch relay will visit 250 towns and villages in Suffolk as part of a major event celebrating the Queen's platinum jubilee.
We are delighted that two Bardwell pupils will be torch bearers for this event - which will be passing through the village on Monday 16th May.
The Festival of Suffolk Torch Relay will form a key part of the celebrations which are set to become the county's biggest ever community event.
The torch will start its journey in Brandon on Friday 13th May, before making its way through 250 towns and villages, reaching its conclusion at the Suffolk Show at Trinity Park, on Wednesday 1st June.

Some feedback from a neighbour
Thank you Bardwell pupils for being such great ambassadors for the school and for your Kind Communication.
