At The Rushmere Park
Academy we are very proud to have such a dedicated team of very talented
teachers and support staff that make The Rushmere Park Academy a really special
place to work, learn and play.
We are a happy school with
a strong ethos in both our Academy and Nursery that is based on the foundation
values of good manners, respect, kindness and hard work. We have very high
expectations for all our children and visitors often comment on the ‘learning’
atmosphere and good relationships, which are so important to us.
We believe that learning
should be led by a child’s natural curiosity and our curriculum model has been
developed with this key principle in mind. All children are encouraged to build
their self-confidence, to develop self-reliance, to take risks without fear of
failure and to make informed decisions about their ‘own’ learning,
immersing themselves in a high-quality education that is full of challenge,
diversity, interest and fun. My colleagues and I work hard to create an
environment, which provides children of all ages with opportunities to experience
success and develop a life-long learning attitude, equipping them with the
skills needed in today’s world.
We are an inclusive school and nursery and we try to ensure that we know all our pupils really well. With small class sizes and a clear focus on
traditional values ‘Every child matters’ at The Rushmere Park
Academy and we value children for all their different strengths and qualities.
We are unique
in our ethos, passion and plans for the future. Now is a very exciting time to
join us and we genuinely believe that The Rushmere Park Academy is the place to
be. Why not arrange a visit so you can see for yourself?
I look forward in showing
you around one of the best schools in Leighton Buzzard for ages 2-9.

Achievement of Pupils: ‘GOOD’
· The school has adopted well-structured programmes for teaching reading, writing and mathematics in small groups, and this helps pupils to make good progress. Work is well tailored to their needs.
Quality of Teaching: ‘GOOD’
· No pupil is held back from reaching their potential, as in every group the work is sufficiently demanding for them.
Behavior and Safety of Pupils: ‘GOOD’
· The behaviour of pupils is good. They have positive attitudes to learning and work hard. Pupils speak with enthusiasm about their educational experiences. They are polite and considerate of one another.
Leadership and Management: ‘GOOD’
· Much of their success is down to rigorous checks on the quality of teaching, careful tracking of pupils’ progress, and high quality training for staff. Effective action is then taken to address any issues that are identified. Teaching staff are very positive about the way their skills are developed and how they are encouraged to take on new responsibilities.
Teacher Testimonials
“Being a teacher at The Rushmere Park
Academy is an exceptionally rewarding experience. The level of care and
trust that team has is so unique and special. As a member of staff,
I feel loved, supported, and cheered by SLT and my colleagues. There
is definitely no 'I' in team at The Rushmere Park Academy, instead a
supportive and inspiring team who always offer a helping hand.
I did my teacher training at The Rushmere
Park Academy and felt so motivated, valued and empowered to
teach that I applied for a position at the school during my NQT year. Since
then, I have been offered valuable CPD and support to further my teaching
career and practice.
I feel honoured to work with such professional
and positive people. Integrity is a very important value to me, and I feel
right at home amongst The Rushmere Park Academy, everything they do
oozes integrity and excellence.
Since the moment I was hired by The
Rushmere Park Academy I felt like part of a family. Staff here work
together with gratitude to make sure students are getting the best quality of
education and community.
