  • Burnley Junior Parkrun Welcomes You...

    Published 23/04/23

    Parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. Burnley junior parkrun is a 2km run held at Towneley Park every Sunday morning. It is dedicated to 4-14 year olds and their families. To run, all you need to do is register on the parkrun website and print (or save on your mobile phone) and barcode to show at the finish. Then, turn up for the warm-up by the large park anat 8:50am on a Sunday.

    There is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along whatever your pace and parents can run alongside children. 

    If you're feeling more confident or aged over 14, parkruns for anyone are held at Towneley Park and Holt House every Saturday morning at 9:00am. Again, just register for free, bring your barcode and run/jog or walk for fun.

  • Celebrating St. George's Day...

    Published 23/04/23

    Some of our students have represented The Scouting Association today in St. George's Day Parades across our area. In Burnley, the parade at Towneley Park saw Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers marching up to the Hall to salute the Mayor and hear a short presentation about St. George's Day. It is wonderful to see that so many of our students take part in such a variety of activities outside school and see the pride they have in what they do.

  • Recycle at every opportunity

    Published 28/03/23

    Part of the key stage 3 programme teaches students about food waste and how to reduce it. As a trust we are committed to reducing land fill waste, so we take every opportunity to encourage pupils to recycle in the food room when possible. Last week year 8 made 75 key lime pies, which meant 75 pots of cream and 75 cans of condensed milk being cleaned and sent for recycling instead of landfill.

  • Eureka! Problem-solving for Year 10...

    Published 27/03/23

    It was allegedly Archimedes who coined the term 'Eureka!' after discovering that the volume of an object is equal to the volume of water it displaces. He used his revelation to help him to establish the authenticity of his Gold Crown, which he doubted was made of pure gold. This week, year 10 students have been putting the theory to the test and working out the volume of some irregular objects. They have then used this to help them to calculate density and then compare their accuracy to published values. Facing some challenges along the way, they have shown some great resilience and teamwork. Well done Year 10!
