✏️ Writing in Year 2 Year 2 have been working together to Purple Pen Polish their story retells! The children supported their partners to spot and correct errors, as well as suggesting simple improvements to make their writing even better. Some lovely examples of peer support, careful checking and teamwork in action. 💜📖 #SurreyPrimarySchool #BurhillPrimary #Year2 #TheBurhillWay

❤️ Have you met the Friends of Burhill School? Friends of Burhill School (FoBS) is made up of Burhill families and staff who give their time to bring our school community together – and raise valuable funds to make school life even better for our children. Throughout the year, FoBS are behind so many of the events our families enjoy, from the Summer Fair and school discos to non-uniform days, inflatables, fireworks and other family events. They also run initiatives such as our pre-loved uniform sales, helping families while supporting a more sustainable school community. And, of course, all that fun has an important purpose! The money raised by FoBS goes back into supporting Burhill and helping to provide opportunities, resources and experiences for our children that go beyond what the school budget alone can provide. None of it happens without our brilliant parent volunteers. Whether you can help at an event, share an idea, lend a particular skill or simply support the events that FoBS organise, every contribution makes a difference. 💛 If you'd like to find out more about what FoBS do and the difference they make, come along to the AGM... 🗓️Thursday 8th October ⏰7pm 📍The main hall. Everyone is welcome! Do drop them an email on hello@friendsofburhillschool.co.uk if you plan to come so that they know how many to expect. #PrimaryEducation #BurhillPrimary #TheBurhillWay #SchoolCommunity #SchoolPTA

🪐 Year 5 Science ☀️ Year 5 took their science lesson out onto the playground last week, creating scaled diagrams of our solar system using chalk. They’ve been learning about astronomical units to help them understand the huge distances between the Sun and the planets – and seeing it mapped out certainly helped put those distances into perspective! 🌍✨ #Year5 #PrimaryEducation #LoveOfLearning #BurhillPrimary #SurreyPrimarySchool

📚 Year 2 have been busy! In maths, the children have been developing their number skills by partitioning numbers, while in English they’ve been exploring our focus text, The Lonely Beast. They’ve been sequencing pictures from the story, using them to develop their language and build sentences as they retell what happens. 📖✏️ Lots of great thinking and learning happening in Year 2! 🌟 #Year2 #PrimaryEducation #BurhillPrimary #TheBurhillWay #LoveOfLearning

🎉 Happy 70th Birthday, Barry! A very happy birthday to our brilliant caretaker Barry, who celebrated his 70th yesterday! (I know, we can't believe it either 😉) Barry is a much-loved part of Burhill, always on hand to help and never too busy for the children or staff. No job is too small, and we’re very lucky to have him. We hope you had a wonderful birthday, Barry🎂

Year 6 had a busy week last week! From making electrical circuits in Science and tasting soup in DT to some fantastic work in maths, there was plenty of hands-on learning, problem-solving and creativity going on – alongside lots of other activities across the curriculum. ⚡🥣➗ A great week of learning in Year 6! 🌟 #BurhillPrimary #PrimaryEducation #LoveOfLearning #Year6

Our vision for every child at Burhill School 🌟 At Burhill, we want every child to leave us inspired, confident and equipped for their future.

Our key priorities reflect that vision – from excellence in teaching and strong foundations in Early Years, to strengthening inclusion, attendance, behaviour and belonging. We’re committed to helping every child thrive – at Burhill, at secondary school and beyond. ❤️ #TheBurhillWay #PrimaryEducation #SurreyPrimarySchool #BurhillPrimary #ExcellenceEveryDay

🕊️ International Day of Peace 🕊️ Today marks the International Day of Peace – a lovely opportunity to reflect on the values we encourage every day at Burhill. Our Burhill Values include Peace, Kindness, Tolerance, Cooperation and Respect, helping our children learn how to listen to one another, resolve differences, show understanding and play their part in creating a happy community. Peace can begin with the smallest of actions – a kind word, including someone, listening to another point of view or choosing to make things right. 💛🌍 #BurhillPrimary #TheBurhillWay #SchoolCommunity #InternationalDayOfPeace

🎨 Year 3 have been getting creative! You could hear a pin drop in Starlings as the children concentrated on their artwork, carefully blending colours together to create their paintings. Inspired by the beautiful work of Georgia O’Keeffe, they explored colour, shape and technique – and we loved seeing how focused they were on bringing their ideas to life. 🌸🖌️ #TheBurhillWay #BurhillPrimary #Year3 #georgiaokeeffe
