Welcome from Mrs Atkinson-Smith – Headteacher

Burnley Brow is a two-form entry Community Primary School where staff, governors and families work together to provide a rich stimulating and caring environment where children can flourish. Ofsted say we are a Good School (July 2023) and described us as; “Welcoming, ambitious” and a ‘school where everyone feels valued.’ We continue to evolve and grow to facilitate an exciting and challenging learning experience for our children.

Our vision and values aim for our pupils and school community is ‘Be the best that you can be.’  Guided by our values of  respect, resilience and responsibility, we create a safe, inclusive and ambitious learning community where every child feels a sense of belonging, is valued as an individual and is encouraged to thrive.  

 Our curriculum builds knowledge, skills and confidence, celebrates diversity and promotes equity.  We recognise that children have different starting points, strengths and needs, and we provide the opportunities, challenge and support that enable every child to achieve their potential and thrive. 
W aspire for our children to become confident, curious and compassionate learners who believe in themselves, respect and value others, and are well prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond. Above all, we encourage and inspire every child to ‘be the best you can be’. 

Burnley Brow is committed to safeguarding and promoting the physical, mental and emotional welfare of all pupils. We expect all staff and visitors to share this commitment.
