Our Aims and Values

We believe Bowland offers pupils the best educational opportunities available. We aim to provide a quality education, which provides challenge with care, in a disciplined family community, where pupils are happy and safe.

We aim to develop our children into responsible citizens by providing them with the necessary academic, social and personal skills and ensure their talents are maximised.

Our small size is our greatest strength. We are a unique, caring and understanding community; we use mutual respect and trust as a base. We know our pupils and parents/carers very well and can provide a genuine personal touch.

Our Aims are to:

• Develop our pupils to their full potential, academically, socially and personally; to develop inquiring minds with an ability to work constructively as individuals and as part of a team.
• Equip our pupils with the fundamental skills of numeracy and literacy; the skills of oral, aural and visual communication; technological and physical skills; creative and aesthetic skills and the ability to make informed judgments in social, moral, spiritual and cultural matters.
• Develop an awareness and appreciation of our local community and the needs of its people.
• Help pupils to be aware of the wider community and society in general; this would include the appreciation and valuing of differences in people within this country, Europe and the wider world.
• Establish a concern for all aspects of equal opportunities. This includes recognition of responsibilities and respect for others.
• Provide pupils with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, values, attitudes, commitment and skills needed to protect the environment.
