Our school is just starting the process of working towards obtaining the 'Wellbeing Award for Schools'. This process will take the school between one year and eighteen months to complete.
As a starting point, we need to evaluate our current provision and would appreciate the views of our parents. Your views are important in helping us understand what we are doing well and how we can do better.
Below is a link to the parent survey. It should only take a couple of minutes and the survey will remain open until 8th April 2026.

On Wednesday 4th February, the Mayor for Broxbourne, Councillor Patsy Spears visited Burleigh school and met with the Burleigh Parliament. The children were able to ask Madam Mayor all about her life prior to becoming mayor and her current role and responsibilities. Everyone was surprised by how open and warm-hearted Cllr Spears was and we greatly appreciated her visit.
Our ministers and class MPs spent a day in Westminster seeing democracy in action.
Please be aware our school crossing patrol, Julie, will NOT be on the crossing for the foreseeable future.
Yesterday, our Young Voices choir sang their hearts out at the O2 with 8,000 children from across the country. The whole day was great fun as the children practised their songs, warmed up with the amazing dance group Urban Strides and sang along with guest performers Ruti and Aneesa Folds. The performance itself was magical and made memories that the children will treasure for years to come.
On Wednesday 14th January 2026, the Burleigh Parliament did us proud when they met with representatives from Herts County Council and our catering company HCL, to share our children's views on school dinners. The ministers and class MPs put forward the results of our recent food survey respectfully and the chef was very receptive to some of the suggestions they made. Watch this space for future changes!
This morning began with an unexpected and magical surprise for the entire school. As pupils assembled on the playground, the gentle sound of sleigh bells echoed through the air, growing louder by the moment. Anticipation built as Father Christmas appeared, arriving in his sleigh to delighted cheers. Joined by one of his cheerful elves, he danced along to the festive music while greeting everyone on the playground. After spreading plenty of Christmas spirit, they waved goodbye and set off once more for Lapland, where preparations for the big day continue.
