The school offers a wide range of subjects, both vocational and academic, and strives to create a structured and disciplined learning environment, the school sets high standards for both behaviour and uniform, and is not shy about encouraging its students to work independent and properly guide their own learning. Aside from their academic studies, Bourne End also strives to equip students with the necessary life skills to become responsible adults, with the proper emotional and social intelligence.

At Bourne End Academy we recognise that each student is an individual with a unique range of abilities, qualities and aspirations for the future. Our role is to ensure that all of the students in our care can maximise their opportunities and outcomes and to allow them the best possible access to all of their future pathways. We ensure a personalised and individual educational experience for all students, encompassing and celebrating the richness and diversity within our local school community.

There are carefully planned activities in lessons, assemblies and whole days devoted to events promoting pupils' personal development and understanding of diverse topics.
