Are you ready to SHINE? Are you passionate about learning, energetic, nurturing, and do you have the skills to inspire and support pupils to enable them to thrive in all they do?

Our vision is for all our children at Burham C of E Primary School to ‘Shine’. We believe that all children should be given opportunities to ‘Shine’ and discover their true, unique potential through rich, engaging experiences that enable them to be successful, happy and independent learners. We were delighted with our recent SIAMS report (February 2024), which recognised the strengths of the school, referencing how pupils thrive academically within a supportive community. In addition to this, we are thrilled with our recent Ofsted inspection grading the school as ‘Good’ (June 2024).

It is our aim to provide children with a safe, happy learning environment in which every member of the school community can flourish. Our aim is for children to build enriching relationships and become responsible, caring and successful citizens.

We are a caring and friendly team who are very supportive of each other. We have high expectations of ourselves as well as the children, as evidenced in our most recent Ofsted inspection.
