On behalf of the children, staff and governors of Burnham on Crouch Primary School I would like to welcome you to our school and website. The website cannot replace direct contact with you but we hope it will act as a foundation for good relations between home and school.
Our vision for our school is to become an 'outstanding' school to ensure your children receive the very best education and experiences. We are a successful learning community that is an extended family in which everyone is valued, enjoys coming to school and is given every opportunity to flourish both academically and as an individual.
Our success is based on a shared willingness to expect the best for your children in our care.
We work closely with the community, parents and carers to make sure everyone is part of our journey to raise standards and create a school where everyone counts; where everyone has the chance to succeed, to discover their best self and learn how to lead a life of integrity, respect and happiness
