Bursar Primary Academy has been an educational setting since 1902 and we are still successfully educating pupils in our standalone academy. Our age range is from 3 years old in our nursery all the way up to 11 years old in Year 6.

At Bursar, we believe that all individuals are unique and will thrive in a secure, stimulating and challenging environment that recognises and celebrates individuality and achievement at all levels. Emphasis is placed on a skills based approach to learning, which acknowledges creativity, innovation and communication – our ability to work with ideas and alongside others – as essentials within our technological and information rich society. We believe that learning and self-esteem are the keys to unlock potential and provide a ‘safe to fail’ journey and a no-blame culture for all, pupils and adults, where all actions are utilised as learning opportunities. School must be the place where every child is inspired to learn and willing to take risks to build life skills for the future.

We aim to instil in our children a love of learning that will last a lifetime. We want our pupils to enjoy school so much that they are eager to return each day looking for a new challenge. We have high expectations of behaviour and progress; wanting our pupils to be the very best they can be with a determination to succeed built through resilience.

The academy’s ethos is underpinned by values of mutual respect, tolerance, honesty and perseverance. It empowers children to make informed choices and to establish independence. Our academy thrives on mutual respect, which gives children a sense of belonging and self-worth. Behaviour improves because children feel noticed and are keen to respond and live up to - if not exceed - high standards and expectations; positive behaviour is noticed and praised at all times. There is no hierarchy of importance – everybody is equal and accountable within the demands of their role and therefore deserves the same respect, support and warmth.

Alongside British Values, we also work hard to incorporate our own set of values into all that we do. Our aim is to develop well-rounded citizens of the future. Our Bursar Values are integral to all that we do; we want our pupils to be/have:

B – Brilliantly Bold

U – Understanding Uniqueness

R – Resilient & Robust

S – Self-Belief & Stamina

A – Aims & Aspirations

R – Respectful & Responsible
