As a school be believe in a family approach to education. We want children to be happy at school and believe the best way to achieve this is to involve parents and other family members in the life of the school and in learning for these young children. We believe that together we can make a difference. We believe education is a Journey, not a destination.
On that Journey each child finds their own path, a unique personalised journey which allows children to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to meet their full potential.
Here at Bolsover Infant and Nursery we wish for all our children to reach their full potential and hope to offer help to children and parents to plan their learning Journey and support them in creating a happy, healthy and secure future.
