Acland Burghley School

Acland Burghley School provides a rich and stimulating education for boys and girls aged 11 to 19. We believe passionately in the potential of each young person, and work together with families to ensure that every student succeeds.

High quality learning is at the heart of our school. We prioritise high academic standards, supporting students of all abilities to excel in English, Maths and Science, and across a broad curriculum.

We encourage our learners to be independent thinkers with a broad world view. Our emphasis on creativity is about developing the thinkers and innovators of the future. Our curriculum offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to participate in the arts and sport, and to play a part in community life.

We are a member of the highly successful LaSWAP sixth form consortium, together with three other local schools. The combined strengths of all four schools offers our sixth form students the widest range of opportunities, expertise and resources. Every student is given information, advice and guidance to find an ambitious and successful pathway to the future. Above all, we are a friendly, happy school.

All school staff are invested in students reaching their full potential. Below you will find a break down of the staff structure by faculty and Senior Leadership Team areas of responsibility.

At Acland Burghley we have shared values and expectations which identify ourselves as a learning community striving for excellence together. We are ambitious in our pathways and aspirations, respectful of diversity, and tolerant of others’ beliefs. We respect and care for others in our community.

Curriculum departments have been grouped into faculties, in order to increase opportunities for collaboration to develop teaching and learning and raise achievement. Each faculty is lead by a Head of Faculty and each subject has its own Subject Leader.

At Acland Burghley School we wish to work in partnership with parents and carers and so are seeking your full support in ensuring that your child attends school every day and on time. We are always pleased to work together with parents/carers in resolving any difficulties but we are also committed to improving attendance levels at the school.
