Our children come not just from the local community of Bewbush, but together we make up around 30 different nationalities from all over the World and we speak approximately 40 different languages!
We are proud of our diversity and we stand together as one proud and welcoming community. Our vision is for all of our children to leave us as confident and enthusiastic learners, well-equipped with the skills and competencies needed to excel in their next phase of learning.
Through their primary school experience with us at The Bewbush Academy, we aim to have enabled our children to become positive contributors to their community, and to their wider world. We hope that our website offers you a glimpse of our school, but the best way to find out about us is to come and see us. Please contact the school office to book a visit to our school.
We look forward to seeing you.
