From the St Germans Academy
You'll discover a welcoming setting with a focused study environment at our academies. In order to aid and secure the full growth and development of the child physically, intellectually, socially, and morally, we strive to provide joyful and encouraging environments for the children in our care as well as a place with a wide range of learning activities. Education is a collaboration, and we think that home and school should work closely together to make this happen. There are numerous opportunities for parents to participate in their child's education. The Bridges Federation, which presently includes Magdalen Village Academy, St. Germans Primary Academy, and Wimbotsham & Stow Community Primary Academy, was formed in November 2014.
