Community: Bournville School

 

At Bournville we like to feel that not only are we part of the community out side of school, but inside of school as well. We see ourselves as a community that works together and provides support where ever possible, making our students life and education here a fulfilling and enjoyable one.

As part of our community we have a Head Boy and Girl who are seen as ambassadors for the school and shining examples of the quality of student Bournville produces.

 

Open Evening 2009

Here are some of the comments and feelings of the new Year 7 students, some of which were used during the Heads speech to parents of prospective students. These are genuine quotes collected during and after their 'induction day'.

 

"The form teacher is really good because they listen to you and they help you."	"Science is good because you're actually doing real experiments. I love science."	"Your form is important to you. It's like your school family and your form room is your school home."
"It's a bit harder than Year 6, but it's fun actually."	"The looks big but when you get there it's just like a normal school."	"The best things about Bournville School are being in a different environment and meeting new people and being able to learn at a higher standard. And the food is brill!"
"I got lost a few times but the older children are really helpful."	"I was quite worried when I came here because there weren't many people from my junior school. But it's been easy to make friends."	"The good thing is you feel really comfortable in the school from the beginning."
"The best thing I've found is how friendly people are and how nice the teachers are plus how organised the buildings are."	"It's really good the way you get to mix with other people. Sometimes you're with your form and sometimes you work with other children"	"It's the learning that matters here - and the learning is really good!"
"Learning at Bournville has topped my Primary School by miles."	"At my old school you could either have this or that, but here there's a really good choice in dinners."	"They have a very good behaviour system here. The teachers are very helpful and understanding. The older students are great at helping you find places."
"I think the way we pay for dinners is really, really, really clever"	"The school dinners are lovely!"	"The work is challenging."
"In English we are talking about things I had never even heard of before!"	"People think the buildings are quite old but when you get here the learning is really modern."	"The school is really convinced about children's learning."
