Ethos and Values
At Bourne Primary School we are extremely proud of all of the staff’s commitment to ensure that the children within our care receive quality provision. We recognise the importance of educating the whole child, building on their strengths and celebrating individual’s achievements. We have worked hard to create a school community where we are:
Bourne to inspire others, include everyone and empower ourselves
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. We respect the diversity of our community by accepting and learning from our differences. The positive relationships between staff (and indeed between staff and children) are fundamental to our success. By working together to promote a sense of self-worth, we encourage self-confidence, honesty and individual talents; establishing a sense of belonging and pride in our achievements. We promote fundamental British values through our spiritual, moral, social and cultural curriculum and our School Values:
- Nurture – to care for and protect each other and our school; to stay positive and aim high
- Innovate – to make changes to our world through problem solving and creativity
- Collaborate - to work as a team to share ideas or create something new; to know how and when to be a leader
- Empathise – to listen to understand and share the feelings of each other
At Bourne we are proud of the work we do with other schools in our locality and across the local authority. We believe that working with other schools creates a collective responsibility and collaboration that ensures best practice is shared, helping to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children in all of our schools.
We provide a positive, stimulating and challenging learning environment that is safe and secure. Our learning experiences promote life-long learners through developing inquisitive minds, a joy of discovery and a sense of wonder.
