I would like to warmly welcome you to Jewell Academy, Bournemouth. It is my privilege to be serving as the Principal of a fantastic school with highly dedicated staff and incredible children in the heart of a great community. Jewell Academy embraces the core belief of Aspirations Academies Trust: Education for Success in the 21st Century.
It is our wish that all of our children engage in a No Limits Education that prepares them for the next stage of their education and ultimately, to be able to compete on the global stage. Our high expectations for all mean that our children look smart, they are ready for any challenge and are supported to succeed.
They demonstrate good behaviours and attitudes to learning, keenly showing pride in their work and achievements that we celebrate with them. We cater for children aged 3 to 11 and have superb links with other local nurseries and secondary schools, supporting our children as they transition to the next phase of their education.
We work in partnership with our parents and carers, local community and other academies within the Aspirations Trust to ensure the best learning experiences can be created for our children.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
