From the Burscough Village Primary School
Being the principal of Burscough Village Primary is an honour for me.
Our guiding principle, "Striving for the Future," is at the core of all we do. We give the kids the knowledge, experiences, and skills they need to grow into well-rounded people both today and in the future.
We promote a growth attitude among students, teachers, and parents. This ongoing learning produces a stimulating environment for everyone.
The Burscough Village Primary School is located in the centre of the neighbourhood.
The kids like going on outdoor adventures whenever they can.
We have a full-size football field, a pond, willow tunnels, a stage area, an outdoor classroom, climbing frames, and a firepit to support this learning and promote a love of the great outdoors.
The most recent project we completed was building a cutting-edge classroom for Year 6 on our lovely grounds.
This gives our eldest kids a chance to develop the independence they'll need for high school.
They are helping us raise money this year so we can refurbish the school library.
We wish you could grow to cherish our institution as much as we do.
We are confident that your child will have a lot of wonderful experiences from his or her time with us that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
