  • Friendship & Compassion

    Nurturing and inclusive relationships, and the values of equality and respect are at the heart of our school family. We create safe, secure and happy educational environments where we embrace diversity in all its richness, individuals feel a sense of belonging and we care for the welfare and wellbeing of others.

    Through personal challenge, high expectations and the development of self motivation, we encourage a passion for learning. We stimulate curiosity and engagement through inspirational teaching and leadership, and motivate individuals to continue learning confidently throughout their lives.

  • Determination

    We encourage a positive, optimistic outlook, and build stamina and personal resilience. Through this we develop moral courage, integrity and leadership, and enable individuals to work well both independently and as part of a team.

  • Enjoyment

    We ensure that both children and adults experience the joy of learning; and whether this be from the exuberance of discovery, the ascetic pleasure of completing an arduous piece of work or the simple glow of pleasure from insight and understanding, we ensure that learning is rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable.

Queens Bridge, connecting Queens Park and Kempston is currently closed for safety reasons, and we have been made aware that some children have been climbing the arch and barriers to cross it.

Climbing the arch and barriers is extremely dangerous. The heights and unstable surfaces put children at serious risk of falling. Even the strongest swimmers can suffer cold water shock if they fall into the river - a sudden, life-threatening reaction to cold water that can happen to anyone.

 The official diversion is via County Bridge and Prebend Street, just 800 metres (half a mile) away. There is also a closer option, the Britannia Footbridge, just 600 metres away, but since the council has not adopted the paths on that route, it is not part of the official diversion.

Please explain to your children why it’s so important to avoid climbing the bridge and to use the diversion. We all want them to stay safe and enjoy their journeys, even if it takes a little more time.

Thank you for helping us protect the safety of our community’s children.
