Our school has a long history, the original building was opened in 1874. The third classroom in the school was, in fact the origional building. Extensions in 1998 provided a new classroom, a practical work area and office. In September 2005 we opened our new school hall. Most recently in September 2011 work was completed on our Reception/Year 1 Classroom.
We have the capacity for 105 children, with a possible 15 in each year group. The school is normally oversubscribed but, because of the nature of the area, families move in and out and we sometimes have some places available. If you are interested in your child joining our small caring school please ring the school for details.

What Ofsted said about our school "Parents are understandably happy with the good education provided at Burton Green. Children usually join the Reception class with knowledge and skills that are above levels expected for their age. They make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage and in most other years, so they usually leave school with standards that are high in English, mathematics and science.....
Pupils are polite and well behaved. They receive great encouragement to lead healthy lifestyles, and their response is outstanding. They are exceptionally active in sports and eat very healthily. They feel safe in school because they are well looked after and know they can always talk to an adult if they have problems.."To read the full report please click here
