Success of the Curriculum: The curriculum is ambitious in most subjects and helps pupils learn and remember more.

Areas Needing Improvement: Inconsistencies in curriculum implementation for some pupils, including those with SEND.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils have regular opportunities to reason and to problem-solve in mathematics and remember their times tables well.
Support for Falling Behind: Effective support for pupils who struggle to attend school regularly; their attendance improves as a result.

I hope our website provides you with all the information you need.
However, I would be happy to set up a visit or a meeting if you wanted to ask any questions or share any opinions.
While we are now officially "full," if you are interested in enrolling your child with us, please get in touch. We welcome 50 children into the Reception cohort each year.
Since September 2015, I have served as the headteacher at Burbage. Prior to that, I served in similar capacities at Fairfield Endowed Junior School and Curbar Primary School.
Please talk to your child's teacher as soon as you can if you, as parents, have any worries or questions, no matter how little.
Each month, I send home a Headteacher's newsletter with the most recent announcements, events, and messages.
Additional information can be found on our school website (www.burbage.derbyshire.sch.uk), via SMS messages, and on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/burbageprimary) and Twitter feed (@BurbagePrimary).
I would be interested in hearing from you if you have any other recommendations for enhancing communication between home and school.
