Burfield Academy

@AcademyBurfield @STEP_Phoenix Really enjoyable session with your KS1 children today. They listened well, joined in when asked, clapped along and were a really receptive audience. A credit to their teachers and to the school. Delighted to be your @patronofreading

✈️ Our Reception class have taken off with their new role play area – an airport complete with check-in desks, boarding passes & even their own plane! They’ve had so much fun exploring roles & learning through play. Next stop: adventure! 🌍 @thesteptrust

🌟 It has been absolutely lovely to welcome parents and carers into school this week for our Parent Consultation Evenings! 🌟 Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and for your continued support. We look forward to seeing more of you tomorrow evening! 😊📚✏️

We loved welcoming author, Sarah Driver, for a workshop with our KS2 pupils—plus guests from local schools! She shared author insights, answered brilliant questions, and read an action-packed excerpt! Thanks to Sarah for sparking creativity in our young readers & writers!🙌📖

Our Gardening Club is up and running once again! 🌱 💚 Our keen gardeners have been hard at work, giving the garden a much-needed spring clean after the winter months. They’ve even started adding some beautiful pops of spring colour around the school grounds! 🌷🌼

Thank You! A huge thank you to everyone who donated and joined in for Comic Relief! It was fantastic to see so many crazy hairstyles, red outfits, and red noses. Pupil Parliament will share the total amount raised next week—stay tuned!

We had the most amazing #WorldBookDay at Burfield and @STEP_Phoenix last week! 📚✨ A day filled with stories, creativity, and the magic of books. We can’t wait for next year! 📖💛 #LoveBooks

🎉🏆 Huge congratulations to Year 5 for winning the Attendance Award two weeks in a row! Your dedication and commitment are amazing—keep up the fantastic effort! 👏

Our Year 4's have been enjoying learning to play the glockenspiel in their music lessons this term. Last week, the children were practising their skills by learning to play well-known nursery rhymes. Well done, Year 4. @thesteptrust

A huge THANK YOU goes to the wonderful team at Hailsham Library for their incredible efforts last term in reorganising our entire library. Their hard work has completely transformed the space, making it an even more magical place for our pupils to discover the joy of reading.

THANK YOU to our incredible team for making Christmas Dinner Day such a heartwarming success! 🌟 From SLT’s table presents 🎁, to crackers and jokes from the catering team 🎉, and bursting into festive song 🎶, you made it truly magical. #Gratitude #Teamwork @thesteptrust

A huge thank you to the Friends of Burfield for organising yet another incredible Annual Winter Fair! It was wonderful to see so many members of our community coming out and celebrating with us! We hope you had as much fun as we did and left with warm memories!

🌟🎄Festive Reading Wonderland! 🎄🌟 We’re thrilled to share our wonderful festive reading display, beautifully adorned with seasonal cheer! Special thanks to Mrs. Jervis for her stunning nativity scenes, which bring the true spirit of the season to life.

On this Remembrance Day, we honour those who sacrificed for our freedom. We remember their courage, their stories, and their legacy. Lest we forget. @thesteptrust

Here's a sneaky peak at our updated garden... We can't wait for the children to use this area as part of their leisure reading sessions! @thesteptrust

Last term, Year 5 wrote letters about topics that they are passionate about. A few of our pupils wrote to Downing Street and have been thrilled to receive replies! Great work, Year 5!

We're looking forward to welcoming a team from @SmallpieceTrust to work with our Year 5 and 6 classes today! We can't wait to see what they have in store for our pupils linked to our science theme of 'space and travel'. @STEP_Phoenix @thesteptrust

Well done, Year 6! Year 6's attendance this week was the highest in school at 97.9%. They're proudly displaying the attendance trophy in their classroom.

@thesteptrust Congratulations to everyone!

Well done to all of our Year 5 Quarter Finalists of the STEP Debating Championship 2024 whose standards of #oracy at this week’s debates were very, very impressive! Our pupils’ passion for #debating and teamwork is first class! STEPFirst #Unity
