From the Boston West Academy
We are a primary school with a commitment to learning outside the traditional classroom. A large portion of our curriculum is taught outside on the grounds of our award-winning and inspirational school. At Boston West Academy, we think that healthy, supportive connections lay the groundwork for a school to thrive. We enjoy cooperating towards success in an upbeat, constructive culture that values excellence. Our institution is honoured to be a part of Anthem, a multi-academy trust that establishes aspirational and prosperous schools where each student succeeds. We wish to motivate kids and support them in being the best versions of themselves. We firmly think that children learn most effectively when they are joyful, self-assured, and driven. Each child can find security and achievement in a healthy, family environment created by staff, kids, and parents working together. The ethos of care—caring for oneself, others, and the environment—is a fundamental part of our schools' culture. Collaboration, attitude, respect, and equality are our other four key values that support our overarching value of caring (CARE). Being an outward-looking institution, we value working together with others to ensure that our students attain their full potential. We work hard to deliver engaging learning opportunities both inside and beyond the classroom. I extend a warm welcome to all parents, whether you already have a kid enrolled here or are thinking about applying for a spot. I hope our website gives you the knowledge you require and gives you a glimpse of our joyful school.
