The Curriculum
The curriculum is unique in its offering, being mainstream in structure yet specialist in nature. It provides pupils with unique learning profiles and personalised support tailored to their learning needs, alongside opportunities to unlock their strengths and thrive. The all-through curriculum delivers a pathway to success for pupils from ages seven to 21 across Burlington House’s prep, senior and sixth-form sites.
Games & The Arts
PE at Burlington House Prep School aims to create enjoyable and fun experiences by providing a wide and extensive range of sports and opportunities for exploration. The adventures the school offers through play are aimed at creating engaging physical activities that lead to lifelong participation and are designed to have a positive effect on the health and wellbeing of pupils. PE lessons are planned in collaboration with the on-site occupational therapy team. This allows all specialists to work towards individual needs of each pupil. Where possible, activities take place at specialised venues to facilitate certain activities.
Pastoral Care
Burlington House School provides educational needs support for pupils in a variety of ways, from targeted small group and one-to-one sessions, to in-class and therapeutic support assistance. With highly qualified and experienced staff, the school’s aim is to ensure all pupils achieve their full potential regardless of any challenges they may face. There is a school-wide commitment that all pupils are taught in a friendly manner at all times, using various multi-sensory techniques and supported by assistive technology wherever possible. Pupils are equipped with the strategies, tools and confidence to work as independently as possible.
University Places
Burlington House Sixth Form has recently had pupils move on to prestigious university spaces alongside a robust and integrated work experience and apprenticeship partnership.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
There’s nowhere quite like Burlington House School. We’re in the heart of London, but we relish the great outdoors. We raise proud young adults, as much as smart, gifted students. We learn with our hands, as often as we do with our heads. And we always, always teach with our hearts, whoever is leading the class or sitting at the desks. From our teachers to our chefs, our technicians to our therapists, we welcome you with warm, open arms to Burlington House School.
