We’re excited to let you know that at the end of September, our school will be taking part in a special CHEXS Fun Walk to raise money for both our school and CHEXS.

The event will take place during the week beginning 29th September and will give every child the chance to complete as many laps as they can around our school field / playground – all while being sponsored by friends and family to support two great causes.

On Monday 16th June, the children in the Growth Group worked with some residents from a local retirement centre, Emmanuel Lodge B3 Living. The impact was incredibly powerful, with both generations connecting through conversation, games, shared gardening, and creative activities. 

The children were a real credit to the school and working with CHEXS gave them a valuable opportunity to build empathy, confidence and a sense of community.

The feedback has been heart-warming:

“Today was the best day ever – we helped clean their garden, they were so proud of us.”
“I liked hearing about their lives and making them feel less lonely.”

And from the residents:

“They brought such energy and kindness – it was lovely to feel listened to and valued.”

On Monday 23rd June 2025, the Burleigh Parliament held its first ever Careers Convention and it was a resounding success! We were lucky enough to have representatives from across a whole range of industries and professions, including:

Year 2 visited Capel Manor where they had the opportunity to explore the beautiful gardens and learn about the varied plants, herbs, trees and flowers that grow there. 

Thank you to everyone who supported the Year Six 'Bring and Buy' sale.  They raised just over £500. This sum is going towards the purchasing of their Leavers' Books, which they will receive in July. 

Year 1 spent the day in Epping Forest learning all about the trees and plants that grow there. They had to use the natural objects that they found in the forest to make our own pictures. Year 1 had a great day out!
