Dear Parents and Carers,
As we come to the end of another fantastic term at Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. This term has been filled with a huge amount of exciting learning experiences for our children, from attending residentials and school trips to participating in engaging workshops delivered by visiting experts. It has been a joy to see them thrive and immerse themselves in these opportunities.
We are incredibly proud of how our children are demonstrating their Issy Manners so brilliantly and how they are truly embracing and understanding our school values. Their kindness, respect and enthusiasm for learning continue to shine through in everything they do.
A special thank you to our School Council and Eco Council for the fantastic work they are doing to shape and improve our school. This term, they have led some exciting changes, making a real difference to the school community and we are so grateful for their dedication and hard work.
We would also like to extend our thanks to you, our wonderful parents and carers, for your involvement in school life.
Your support in attending Parent Cafés, Reading and Math's Cafés and workshops delivered by our staff has been invaluable. Your engagement in your children’s home learning is making such a positive impact and we truly appreciate it. In addition, a huge thank you to the team of volunteers that helped in school today during our Making a Difference morning.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a strong and supportive school community.
Our sincere gratitude also goes to our Governors and The Bridge MAT for their continued support in striving to make Brunel the best place it can be for our children.
As we break for the Easter holiday, we hope you all have a restful and enjoyable time with your families.
We look forward to welcoming our children back to school on Tuesday, 22nd April.
In the meantime, please enjoy the final Brunel Bulletin of the Spring Term.

A very warm welcome to Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy.
Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy is a successful and vibrant school where children really do come first. It really is a special place. We believe that every child deserves the best education, and we have the highest expectations for every child who attends our school. We are extremely fortunate to have a highly committed and skilled staff who share the common aim of wanting to give every child the best possible start in life as they are encouraged to ‘Degemer An Jydh’ which translates to ‘Seize the Day.’
Our school is part of the Bridge Schools Trust. The Trust is committed to delivering high quality educational provision across all its 15 academies. While we are a family of schools who share common values and beliefs, all our schools are unique and hold their own identity. We believe that by working collectively, sharing what works well and jointly developing best practice, we are stronger together and can provide the very best education for our children in our geographical area.
We strive to make learning engaging, and we endeavour to provide as many ‘real-life’ learning experiences as possible – making learning exciting, interesting and purposeful. Reading is the foundation of our curriculum, and we positively promote reading for pleasure as an essential, life-enhancing skill, asking our families to support us with this at home.
We want all children to become confident and independent learners with enquiring minds. At Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy, our children are taught the values of determination, responsibility, curiosity, excellence, enthusiasm and creativity and they understand that learning does not stop at the end of the school day. Our children are encouraged to extend their interests through the wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities we offer, we truly believe that learning goes beyond the curriculum.
We believe that children should be encouraged to develop positive values towards themselves, each other, and the wider community of which they are part. We work together to create a school where children behave positively, and all are treated with respect, understanding and sensitivity. Safeguarding and welfare are intrinsic and essential in all that we do at Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy
We are exceptionally proud to serve our local community and pride ourselves on the home-school relationships we create. We acknowledge the importance of our families to the successes of our children. We therefore warmly welcome our parents to attend our many, varied school experiences from celebrating successes to participating in parent workshops.
We truly believe there really is no better place to send your child to primary school and we hope that the website gives you a snapshot of what we are about; however, there really is nothing better than seeing the real thing first hand, so if you want to come and look around, please contact us at the school to arrange a visit.
We look forward to welcoming you very soon.
