From the Bourn CofE Primary Academy
Bourn is a school that exudes optimism.
We collaborate amicably and push one another to be the best versions of ourselves.
In an effort to improve the world, we strive for "life in all its completeness." (
The Christian qualities of hope, courage, justice, forgiving, and friendship are integrally linked to our vision.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, and extend forgiveness to one another just as God did to you through Christ.
As we learn together, please foster our friendship with one another.
Give us the courage to stand up for justice and help us care about it.
Give us optimism that we may achieve great things with your assistance.
We offer prayers for the students, faculty, and staff of our school.
Children are expected to grow up to be self-assured, organised, driven, and outward-looking individuals who exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, including love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Our school's logo, which shows a strong and joyful kid as a growing tree full of hope and courage and standing securely on the base of the seed (an acorn), which is the Word of God, reflects how being a Church of England school enables us to nurture and encourage these qualities.
