Strengths
- “Bourn is a friendly and respectful school.”
- “It is very much at the heart of the local community.”
- “Pupils understand and embody the school values of hope, courage, justice, forgiveness and friendship.”
To improve
- “Most pupils read well, but the progress of some younger pupils is affected because they do not concentrate, and routines are not yet firmly established in lessons.”
- “However, some younger pupils take a little longer to learn the ropes.”
- “This prevents them from learning and distracts other pupils during lessons.”
