School Uniform

The Blue Kite Academy Trust have chosen to use an anemone leaf to become the school logo for Badbury Park, after being inspired by the work of Richard Jefferies. Richard Jefferies who was born in Swindon, was an ecologist and took inspiration from his surroundings, which fed into the texts that he wrote. The anemone leaf featured in many of Jefferies books, such as 'Round About a Great Estate' and has since become the symbol for The Richard Jefferies Museum.

Our vision is for the children to become connected with their outdoor environment and to learn about the history linked to the Badbury Park area. We wish to encourage our children to follow in Jefferies footsteps, using their immediate surroundings as as stimulus for their learning. Due to natural environmental features that will surround our school, we wish to use outdoor learning as much as possible, across all aspects of our curriculum. We are so lucky that our school will have a stream and a woodland area, with Coate Water Country Park and The Richard Jefferies Museum sitting on our doorstep.
