delivered through our school aims, which are reflected in our homepage images.
All students will be: Responsible Learners; Prepared for the Future; Happy
Healthy and Safe; Caring Individuals and Active Citizens. We have a reputation
for the pursuit of excellence, and students and staff are proud of our success
at GCSE and A level. “outcomes for pupils have improved significantly over time
and the school is popular and oversubscribed” Ofsted February 2017 We are a
caring school where good relationships are fostered and every student is valued.
We get to know our students as individuals to personalise the support they need
to fulfil their potential. “In class, the learning atmosphere is very positive
and pupils are confident, self-motivated, keen to learn and not afraid to make
mistakes. They exemplify the school’s motto of ‘embracing challenge’.” Ofsted

individuals and exam success. We expect our students to embrace the unique
opportunities to volunteer, mentor younger students and participate in the wide
range of sporting, arts and charity events. “The personal and social aspect of
the curriculum is particularly strong and helps pupils to stay safe, prepare for
examinations and to become responsible citizens…. Pupils appreciate the range of
extra-curricular opportunities to help them to develop their wider skills.”

enrich our curriculum, provide training and employment opportunities and to help
our students to make the right decisions about their futures. We want our
students to be excited by and enjoy each day and to leave us with the
enthusiasm, knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable them to confidently and
responsibly take their places in the world. Burnham Grammar School is an idyllic
learning community where the relationships and teamwork provide the support and
reassurance for our students to strive to be their very best. We are holders of
