Bursledon C of E (C) Infant Bursledon (CA) Junior Schools W elcome to the Bursledon Federation! I am delighted to introduce myself as the Executive Headteacher of both Bursledon Church of England Infant School and Bursledon Church Affiliated Junior School.
I joined in January 2021 and since this time have loved working with dedicated staff, incredible children and wonderful families within our community. The school fully embraces our school vision and values of Love, Respect and Aspire - they sit at the heart of everything we do.
I am continually impressed by the strength of the school staff teams and their determination to ensure that each child develops a love of learning in a nurturing and caring environment. I am proud to also be a parent of the school with a child in both the Infants and the Juniors.
We strongly believe in supporting the whole child and ensuring we are developing their character, experiences, knowledge and skills so they can grow emotionally, socially, spiritually and academically.
