Welcome

Welcome to Burradon Community Primary School’s website!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website to find out about our happy school.  We are a vibrant, busy and friendly school at the heart of the local community. 

We were inspected in February 2017 and maintained our good rating.  The HMI inspector stated that

'a delightfully cheerful and welcoming ethos is well embedded and a

tantalising hubbub of learning is immediately palpable on entering your happy school. 

You lead with good humour and inclusivity, bringing everyone on board and driving improvement with a steady but relentless passion that holds children at its core. 

Only the very best will do.' (OFSTED 2017)  

Burradon Community Primary School prides itself on our standards of achievement across all areas of the school and the progress of each individual pupil in our small school.  

This is because.... we have fantastic children who take pride in their achievements and are eager to learn.  Burradon staff, pupils, parents, governors and local community work well together to form a strong and supportive learning community.  We all want to be the best we can be!

This website aims to give you a taster of the range of experiences children at Burradon Community Primary School enjoy everyday, as well as providing regular information for both parents, carers and pupils.
