At Northbourne, we are committed to Nurturing Excellence by ensuring that every child makes strong progress and achieves their full potential across all areas of learning.

We recognise that children achieve in many different ways, and we celebrate personal growth and effort alongside academic success. Through high-quality teaching, a broad and balanced curriculum, and a nurturing environment grounded in our values of Courage, Compassion, and Community, we aim to equip every pupil with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive.

(Please note: The Department for Education has advised that data from 2020–2022 should not be used for direct comparison with previous years, as statutory assessments were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.)

At Northbourne, we use assessment information carefully to inform teaching, support individual progress, and ensure that every child continues to be nurtured to achieve excellence in a supportive and inclusive community.
