Albourne’s strength is in its sense of family. Children look after each other - older kids take pride in being mentors to the younger ones and do so happily and with great patience. The outcome of this is that when my children have each started school they have immediately felt a part of the Albourne community, like they have security and companionship at lunch and break times which can otherwise sometimes feel difficult to navigate, and as such have started their school journey very positively. The Albourne Learners initiative (and the Reading Challenge) has also really encouraged and inspired my children to thrive.
