From the Bourton Meadow Academy
At Bourton Meadow Academy, we recognise the value of primary education in guiding and educating students in preparation for their futures. Because we want our students to have solid foundations, the Academy actively promotes values in all that we do. These principles guide how Bourton Meadow students behave both within and outside of the classroom. Friendship, integrity, aspiration, respect, determination, and responsibility are some of our core principles. Each kid learns about our ethos and principles as well as what these mean to them. The greatest way to express this is through a narrative one of the Academy students wrote. For our owl story, click the link below.
