Welcome Thank you for the interest you have shown in our beautiful school. We are all extremely proud of our school community and our achievements. At Bonneville we have a strong commitment to our school vision. Our children discover and develop their strengths from the delivery of a broad and balanced curriculum that provides a variety of opportunities for daily successes. Bonneville is a friendly, happy and stimulating place to learn. Our children understand that discovery never ends and develop a long lasting love of learning, understanding that hard work brings success. We pride ourselves on placing children at the heart of everything we do, so our bespoke creative curriculum reflects our community and provides the stimulus for deeper learning and lasting academic progress. At Bonneville we provide the scope for our children to grow a strong sense of responsibility, confidence and independence. They leave our school open minded, willing to try new things without fear of failure, ambitious, articulate, well rounded human beings ready for the next stage of their lives. Ms Parker Headteacher

Bespoke, Broad and Balanced Creative Curriculum At Bonneville, we deliver a full, rich and exciting creative curriculum. Children develop a deep understanding of their topics, which enables a clearer focus on skill development with our cross curricular approach. We aim to maximise varied opportunities for our children, with memorable learning experiences through the exploration of our key drivers:
High Expectations
Enterprise Learning Our children are given the opportunity to develop skills such as problem solving, decision making and evaluating risks.
Communication Children learn through whole class, group work, paired and individual learning. We encourage our children to talk, discuss and feedback to each other.
Environment Our creative curriculum uses the local and wider environments as a stimulus for learning. Children learn to be caretakers and develop an understanding of sustainable living.
Possibilities Children develop an understanding of the opportunities open to them through visitors, external trips and themed focus days / weeks.
Our children are at the heart of our curriculum so it reflects who they are, where they come from and what they could be!
Together
Inclusion We have an excellent reputation for catering for every child’s individual needs. At Bonneville we have a dedicated inclusion team, this consists of providing direct support for pupils and families in the areas of behaviour, EAL, pastoral and outreach support. As soon as we identify any child whom we feel is experiencing difficulties we will contact you to discuss the steps we need to take, to do as much as we can to help. Alternatively you may draw our attention to something that you are concerned about. Either way, we will consult with you at every stage of support and keep you fully informed of your child’s progress. We are an inclusive school. All our children are made to feel welcome and valued as members of our community.

Community Bonneville is a strong community of children, staff, parents, governors and friends. We believe that partnership with parents is vitally important. The school provides opportunities to discuss each child’s progress and needs through regular consultations. Additionally, we provide an increasing range of opportunities for parents and carers to learn alongside their children through family learning projects. As well as our enthusiastic and very dedicated teaching and support staff we have a large group of volunteers who visit the school regularly to provide additional support to children. We also have a very active and hard working parent association (FAB).
91% of our parents say they would
recommend our school to another parent.
