From the Bolton Brow Primary Academy
This is a school that takes great delight in educating kids in a way that inspires them to pursue their own education on their own. Staff are dedicated to providing the best education for all our pupils, and we work hard to ensure that each child receives a programme of teaching that addresses their individual needs. As a school community, we take great delight in educating kids in a stimulating, enjoyable, and purposeful atmosphere where everyone succeeds. Children are expected to make strong academic development and take pride in their accomplishments and those of their schools. Our goal is to create disciplined people who are concerned about others in addition to themselves. We would like for the staff to treat students with the same level of respect as they do, and for the children to benefit from the staff's friendly assistance. Participation from the home is strongly encouraged because the support we need at home is crucial to achieving our goals. We shall collaborate to work for the good of our kids. We hope, that by working together, our children will find themselves to be happy, fulfilled people, whose sense of wonder will stimulate the need to learn for many years to come. You can learn more about our school from this prospectus, but nothing can replace experiencing it for yourself. Feel free to stop by and say hello. We like showing guests around our school at any time. I am confident that you will spend a lot of joyful times at Bolton Brow with your child.
