Our Vision

Mission Statement:

At Bourton Meadow we understand that developing positive relationships is the key to building a successful learning community. Our adults act as role models for the children, demonstrating mutual respect and enthusiasm for learning. They take a genuine interest in every child, getting to know them, their interests and using this information to plan exciting, creative and engaging learning experiences. We believe that by nurturing the children with love and care, we develop the best conditions for them to grow.

There is no limit to the expectations we have of the children or ourselves. We recognise the potential of every individual and, in return, they believe in themselves and soar. Our “can do” attitude means we are always thinking of ways we can adapt our practice to enable each child to excel. Our mantra is “what can WE do…..?” where the adults see themselves as facilitators and going above and beyond is the norm.

We are a community. We are not confined to the school hours and building - the same positive relationships with which we nurture our children are developed with parents and carers so that we can work together to ensure there are no barriers to our children succeeding.

Ours is a truly child-centred approach. Our children are at the heart of everything we do and we measure our success on their happiness, how far they have come, the knowledge, skills and experiences they have gained and their readiness for taking the next step on their journey.
