• Strong Foundations at Burhill

At Burhill Primary School, we believe every child deserves the very best start to their education. Through high-quality teaching, strong relationships and clear expectations, we ensure that children develop the essential knowledge, skills and learning behaviours needed to thrive.

Our approach focuses on securing strong foundations in:

• Language and Oracy – developing confident communicators and effective learners.
• Reading – through Little Wandle Phonics, Reading Fluency and a love of reading.
• Writing – building secure handwriting, spelling and composition skills.
• Mathematics – developing deep number sense, fluency and problem-solving through Mastering Number and Number Sense.
• Personal Development – guided by The Burhill Way: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe.

We are committed to ensuring that every child succeeds, with targeted support for those who need it most and strong partnerships with families to support learning, wellbeing and attendance.

Through evidence-informed practice and a culture of belonging, we help children develop the confidence, resilience and independence needed for success at Burhill and beyond.
