Welcome

We are a warm, inclusive school renowned for our strong Christian ethos, innovative and character-building curriculum and high expectations. Our experienced, creative and caring staff make the most of our surroundings, taking learning outdoors wherever possible.

Here at Burlescombe, we explore the world through exciting cross-curricular learning projects whereby children encounter real-life issues, learning how they can create positive change – locally, nationally and globally – as ‘Inspiring Change Makers’

Our ‘Curriculum 360’  allows our children to experience a variety of subjects in new and exciting ways and to explore the world around them through enrichment experiences built into our Character Education Programme. There is always something wonderful going on at Burlescombe and our high expectations, coupled with our passionate belief in the importance of joy and wonder, ensure our children are excited by learning, genuinely care for one another, and achieve exceptionally well.

As a Christian school, we engage closely with St Marys Church. Children explore the Christian faith and celebrate the festivals of the church calendar, drawing strength and wisdom from the teachings and example of Christ. We further explore Christian life and practice through daily acts of collective worship and support for charitable foundations such as Edukid.

Mrs. Carys Barnett

Executive Head Teacher
