About Us

Boorley Park is a brand new primary school on the Boorley Park estate, that opened to its' first Year R cohort in September 2019. It is the first primary school built as part of the RAISE Education Trust.

In September 2024, the school welcomed its' sixth cohort of children into Year R with the oldest children in the school moving up to create a Year 5 class. The school will continue to grow in this way until September 2025 when the first class has moved up through the school and created a Year 6 class.

At capacity, the school will have space for 420 children aged 4-11.

The key principles and ethos of the RAISE Education Trust are built on Resilience, Ambition, Integrity, Sustainability and Excellence. At Boorley Park Primary school, we provide inspiring learning experiences for each child within the community. We are ambitious for all our pupils and offer a clear focus on achievement for all and high quality teaching in a stimulating environment.

The key features of the vision for our school include:

• ‘No child left behind’; each child is at the heart of what we do.
• All learners are supported and challenged to become independent, resilient, confident, articulate and moral individuals who are aspirational and ambitious.
• Exciting, personalised learning provision to stimulate pupils’ enjoyment and love of learning.
• A culture of rights, respect and responsibility.
• An ethos which is inclusive, where each individual is valued and there is a focus on well-being and achievement
• High quality professional learning for staff, developing strong and sustainable partnerships where innovative practice is jointly developed and linked to educational research and high quality pedagogy.
• Clear lines of accountability, underpinned by strong management systems.
• Outstanding leadership at all levels to realise the vision.

We believe that co-ordinated and planned progression between key stages is critical. Our vision for Boorley Park School is to enable high rates of progress and sustained learning as pupils move through each phase of their school experience. We create a coherent learning experience where pupils from different age groups will learn together. We will continue to recruit and retain high quality professionals who will plan and deliver together across the phases to meet pupils’ needs and establish continuity and expected levels of progression.

There is a culture of high expectations, mutual respect and excellent behaviour.

Alongside our Trust values, here at Boorley we firmly believe in Inspiring Minds, Nurturing Futures and Strengthening Community, embedding these in all that we do. We are:

Inspiring Minds by:

• Developing an enquiry based approach to education where exploration and discovery are at the heart of learning
• Creating awe and wonder through powerful learning opportunities and experiences across the whole primary phase and as children transition to secondary school
• Having high expectations for children to think deeply and work collaboratively through cognitive challenge in order for them to achieve excellence
• Using a talk centred approach to develop thinking, perspective taking and problem solving

Nurturing Futures by:

• Equipping children with the knowledge and skills to set them up for lifelong learning
• Having high expectations of all children no matter what background or additional need they may have
• Providing opportunities to develop the characteristics required for children to thrive in society, ensuring they can look after their physical and mental health
• Developing sustainable approaches within the school and across the local community so children leave Boorley knowing how they can contribute to the longevity of the planet

Strengthening Community by:

• Developing children’s involvement in the community, ensuring they understand the importance of the community and acceptable ways for all within it to behave
• Celebrating diversity within the school and wider local community, understanding, respecting and appreciating difference
• Broadening connections between the school and local community, forming relationships built on kindness and respect
• Fostering rich experiences that the growing Boorley Park community can facilitate and our school be part of and benefit from
