Headteachers Welcome

 

My name is Sarah Annable, and as Headteacher, I would like to warmly welcome you to Burntstump Seely C of E Academy.

 

Our school is located in an idyllic setting in Burntstump Country Park and we are a small, unique church school.  

 

Our ethos is one which promotes the Christian values of: community, hope, understanding, respect, confidence and honesty – these underpin our life in school.  As a Church of England school, we have strong links with our local parish, St Paul’s Church and we strive to strengthen our community links, working collaboratively with the church community to ensure that our children find school a positive and rewarding experience. The children's pastor, Jo, comes into school every week to support and nurture the holistic development of the children. 

 

We pride ourselves on shaping an inclusive Christian community, where we welcome all families. I believe it is crucial to build a whole school community which thrives on mutual respect and values positive relationships; we value every child and family as a unique part of our community. As a small school, we are able to really get to know each child, and meet their needs. Our family-like feel provides a nurturing environment, placing the children firmly at the heart of everything we do.

 

As a staff team, we have high aspirations for all the children and we aim to create experiences which excited and engage the children which, in turn, helps to build their enthusiasm for learning and help them to grow and develop positively. Our location means that we have plenty of open space for the children to explore and we love to learn outside. 

 

Our website will give you a flavour of Burntstump Seely C of E Academy, but the best thing is to come and see our wonderful school in action for yourself.

 

We look forward to meeting you. 

 

Mrs Sarah Annable
