IT MATTERS Because every child deserves a fair start.

think of it from THEIR perspective...

"Why do I have to get up so early just to get to school?"
"What happens if I miss my bus?"
"Can you pick me up again today... please?"
"Mum, will you lose your job if you keep picking me up?"
"Why do I have to travel so far when there's an empty school here?"
"Can I still go to football if I get home late from school?"

IT MATTERS Because every PARENT WANTS THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILD

think of it from THEIR perspective...

"How long can I keep juggling work just to get my child to school?"
"Will my boss keep being understanding if I keep shifting my hours?"
"Why should my child travel miles when others have a good school nearby?"
"I'm struggling with my household budget, I don't know how I will manage extra transport costs"
"Why isn’t there a local school for kids who don’t go to grammar?"
"I have a SEN child, how will they cope getting to school by themselves"

Burnham’s future depends on having a school that supports local families, strengthens the community, and provides opportunity for all.

This campaign isn’t just about classrooms, it’s about building something better, together.

A local school that works for everyone

Burnham needs a local, non-selective school offering a strong culture, broad curriculum, and meaningful extra-curricular activities.

Families shouldn't have to travel miles for a good grammar school alternative.

A COMMUNITY SPACE THAT GIVES BACK

This isn’t just about a school – it’s a long-term investment in Burnham.

A new school would also provide adult education, skills training and sports facilities available for local clubs.

It’s a shared space with lasting value for all generations.
