Bourn Ofsted and School Performance
Bourn Primary Academy was inspected in September 2023. The Ofsted report, which rates the school as Good in all areas is available here.
The report highlights many of the great things about our school. Inspectors saw a ‘friendly and respectful school’ which is ‘calm’, ‘welcoming’ and ‘purposeful’. They noted the ‘warm and kind culture where all pupils feel safe and included’ and recognised our diversity and inclusivity, where ‘pupils celebrate the differences between people and cultures.’ We are especially pleased that inspectors highlighted that ‘children trust in school staff to help and support them.’
The subjects we teach were inspected in detail, and inspectors recognised that our curriculum is firmly established and carefully considered. As a result, children at Bourn achieve well academically. The needs of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) were seen to be met well, and that ‘appropriate adaptations are made to the curriculum to ensure that all pupils can work at the same level.’ As you may know, we have seen a significant increase in the number of pupils with SEN in recent years, and it is reassuring to have Ofsted recognise the work we do to support all of our pupils.
The work of leaders was recognised and the report noted particularly that ‘leaders at all levels are passionate about improving the experience of pupils at Bourn’.
The strong relationship between the school, parents and the community was noted, and it is clear that this partnership enhances the experiences of our pupils.
