Welcome From Headteacher

A Warm Welcome to New Monument Primary Academy

It is a genuine privilege to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of New Monument Primary Academy. I am incredibly proud to be joining this vibrant and inclusive community, and to build upon the strong foundations laid by Mrs McDowall and her dedicated team.

New Monument is a place where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive. We are proud to work in close partnership with Broadmere Primary Academy, with both schools benefiting from the leadership of a single, experienced senior team. This collaboration strengthens our shared vision and ensures consistency in the high standards we set.

At New Monument, you will find happy, engaged children who feel a true sense of belonging, whatever their background. Our passionate and committed staff work tirelessly to provide an exceptional education, nurturing each child’s talents and helping them to reach their full potential. We believe in the power of effort, kindness, and ambition, and these values are woven into the fabric of our school.

Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire, with high expectations at its core. It reflects our school motto: Thrive, Aspire and Achieve. We are proud to be a one-form entry school with a nursery, offering a close-knit and supportive learning environment where every child is known and celebrated.

As part of the Bourne Education Trust, we benefit from being part of a wider network of schools across both primary and secondary phases. This allows our staff to collaborate, share best practice, and continually improve the educational experience we offer.

We are committed to being the best we can be for our children, families, staff and the community. I look forward to welcoming you to New Monument Primary School and sharing the exciting journey ahead.
