Springfield School was created in 2002 from an amalgamation of two old respected Burnley Schools, Todmorden Road and Burnley Wood and is a one form entry school with 200+ pupils on roll. At Springfield we aim to Inspire to Inspire, Challenge and Empower all children and stakeholders.
Springfield is a caring, supportive, and innovative school where everyone is recognised and appreciated as an individual. The golden thread running through our vision is the mental health and wellbeing of our school community.
By creating a safe, supportive, and relational environment for all, we enable our children to be ambitious and to reach their full potential, so that they can take their place in their community and in the wider world. Read about our SENDIA award in the Burnley Express
