Employer Description:
At Horbury Bridge Academy our aim is to nurture compassionate and resilient individuals who embody the values of kindness, courage, and community, enabling them to contribute positively to the world. We aim to foster a love of learning and personal growth in a safe and respectful environment where every pupil is encouraged to strive for excellence and achieve their dreams. We aim to inspire pupils to live out Christian values in their daily lives, promoting faith, hope, and love as a foundation for making a meaningful difference in their community and beyond. At Horbury Bridge Academy, our vision is rooted in Christian values and inspired by the heritage of our local community. This vision reflects our belief that every pupil is a unique and valued part of one family of God, and that by working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the world. Our vision takes inspiration from the words of Rev’d Sabine Baring-Gould, curate of Horbury Bridge, who in 1864 wrote the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. This hymn, created specifically for the children of Horbury Bridge, was intended to feed their spirit and instil determination to live out Christian values as they marched to their mother church in Horbury.
