We have two main buildings the infant building which houses our nursery, reception, and year 1 classes, and the junior building which houses years 2 to 6. We are blessed with a huge site including 3 playgrounds, a dedicated dining area, a purpose-built gym, swimming pool, Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). Indoors you will find an ICT suite, art room, music room, and our very own library.
We pride ourselves on placing your child at the heart of every decision and providing a broad and balanced curriculum that develops the whole child. We ensure every child is given the best possible education regardless of their needs.
Working together we can ensure that your child leaves Campsbourne with the academic skills and maturity needed to thrive at secondary school, whilst ensuring that their time is an enjoyable one which cultivates the natural love for learning which we are all born with.
We believe that the views of our community are incorporated in the vision, aims, and values which provide us with clear guidance when making decisions about the type of education we want our children to receive.
Cambourne is a school where all children are inspired with a love of learning and encouraged to be ambitious for themselves and the school. We work hard to foster a strong sense of community, to prepare our children to embrace a changing world, and to provide a caring and safe environment for all.
We inspire a love of learning by providing engaging experiences within a rich and exciting curriculum that builds on our creativity and natural curiosity about the world around us, and by ensuring a solid foundation of core knowledge and skills is acquired by all.
We enable all our children to be ambitious by developing confident and independent learners who aim high, challenging themselves and the whole school to be the best they can be. The school is equally ambitious in its efforts to continually improve.
We foster a strong sense of belonging by building mutual respect, tolerance, and responsibility, and by engaging with all members of the school community. The school is firmly rooted in and values its unique and diverse locality, including its links to Alexandra Palace and Park.
We prepare our children to thrive in the face of constant change and new challenges, by providing a supportive ethos to develop the resilience and adaptability we all need to take life in our stride. We provide a caring, secure, and happy environment where all our children can flourish, by supporting emotional and physical health and well-being, and by having high expectations of behavior for all.
We want children to develop as well-rounded people, so our vision encompasses not only academic performance but also many other talents such as sports skills, creativity, and social skills. Furthermore, we want both to ensure that children are equipped to move on successfully to secondary school and to prepare them to take their place in modern Britain.
A wide range of children helped to develop a whole school vision which would provide us with a clear sense of purpose about the direction we would like Campsbourne to move in and the type of education we want our children to enjoy.
As the pupils enter their first formal year of schooling, they join the reception class. This is a fascinating time in young pupils’ development as they begin to read, write, and start using numbers more confidently. The Early Years Curriculum forms a solid basis in the fundamentals as the pupils prepare for key stage one.
The EYFS learning environment is organized to allow children to explore and learn securely and safely. There are areas where the children can be active and creative as well as quiet and calm. The environment is set up in learning areas where children can find and locate equipment and resources independently. At Campsbourne School, we create learning opportunities around the 7 identified areas of learning.
