Education with Character

We have a wide-ranging and engaging Education with Character programme at Avonbourne Academies. Underpinning this programme is our REACH values, and we aim to ensure all students can engage with these throughout different initiatives during their time with us, supporting them to be the best they can be. 

Our REACH Values are: 

• Respect 
• Equality 
• Ambition 
• Community 
• Hard work & determination

We do this by offering a programme which encompasses the following aspects to all our students:

• Opportunities to go on trips abroad.
• Getting involved in performances which celebrate the Performing Arts  
• Opportunities to go to a wide range of extra-curricular clubs from trying Coding to joining our Orchestra. 
• Opportunities for Student Leadership. This includes our Prefect roles, REACH Ambassador roles and various membership to various Student Committees. These will all come together regularly as part of our Student Council which will be launching in the Autumn Term.
• Fundraising initiatives and opportunities for volunteering & service. Previously we have raised money for: Disaster Relief; Children in Need; and been part of Christmas Hampers campaign. We have also taken part in initiatives in the community such as the Beach Clean Up on Bournemouth Beach, by Project Planet Earth.

We regularly talk about our values and how they link to Education with Character through our assemblies and as part of the tutor programme.
