We aspire for all our children to become confident, happy and caring individuals who achieve personal success and develop a love of learning and a life built upon our school values We believe passionately that children have the right to achieve their full potential academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally within an inclusive and safe school setting.
We aim to make learning exciting and challenging, underpinned by our Methodist values of mutual care, courtesy, consideration and respect. We will prepare pupils to be upstanding members of the community and lifelong learners who live and work in an ever-changing diverse world.
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it Proverbs 22:6 Our school values help to shape how we live and learn together as a community. They are the foundation for our safe and caring school and underpin how we are committed to working and learning together to achieve our full potential.
Mr Simon Way Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk School School Lane Boughton-under-Blean Kent ME13 9AW Boughton–under–Blean & Dunkirk Primary School is committed to the principles and procedures of safeguarding pupils.
