Principal's Welcome
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Burntwood School, a thriving community which prioritises the personal and academic achievements of all students.
Burntwood School provides all students with a broad and ambitious curriculum, preparing our young people for the opportunities and challenges of the modern world. We are a unique community, and place great value on celebrating our differences as well as unlocking the talents of all students by fostering a sense of commitment, creativity, character and community.
Burntwood students demonstrate high levels of respect, and our commitment to the rights of the child is exemplified through our Unicef Gold Rights Respecting status. With a longstanding history of achieving excellent outcomes for our students, we are committed to providing the very best education for all. Our talented and committed staff work collaboratively with students, families and the local community to ensure that we create a supportive, aspirational and ambitious learning environment, enabling and empowering all students. This boundless ambition for our students is strengthened by our exceptional facilities and the aspirational design of our Stirling Prize winning building.
To supplement our students' academic experience, we ensure that every member of our community has access to a broad range of rich enrichment, super-curricular and work-related learning activities; these opportunities are thoughtfully designed to develop all students' creativity, resilience and cultural capital. With a deeply-rooted commitment to providing the very best girls' education, we have an excellent record of empowering our students with the knowledge, skills and character to confidently take a leading role as the women of tomorrow. I would encourage any parent wishing to enrol their child at Burntwood to visit the School and experience the calm and purposeful learning environment that inspires our young people and prepares them for the future. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon.
'The best education today for the women of tomorrow'
